Does anyone know about further research that is based on either

Leonard Talmy (1985): Lexicalization patterns: semantic structure in
lexical forms, in: Timothy Shopen (ed.): Language typology and syntactic
description, vol. III: Grammatical categories and the lexicon.
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, pp. 57-149

or

Mary Snell-Hornby (1983): Verb-descriptivity in German and English. A
contrastive study in semantic fields. Heidelberg: Carl Winter.

Thanks in advance,

Johannes Reese

Subject:  strong crossover task

In the absence of any (known) test, I am currently working on a
grammaticality judgment task involving knowledge of the strong
crossover phenomenon in wh-questions and relative clauses.  I am
particularly interested in a task suitable for adult second language
learners of English.  I have two questions:

1.  Does anyone know of an existing task suitable for my purpose?

2.  Would anyone be willing to look at my task and provide any
suggestions/comments?

Thanks in advance.  I'll post a summary if the need arises.
