Dear colleagues -

	Has anyone done research on narrative (as defined by Labov) in Nigerian
English or in any other creoles? Any reference would be welcome. I will
post a summary.

Kind regards,
Claudia Bubel.

Hi,

I've been doing some research on the English reflexives
and came across the following type:

Here the river divides (itself) into two branches.

The meaning of the sentence is, more or less, similar
with or without the reflexive.

I would much appreciate it if you could direct me to
any related references or give me similar examples.
Thanks.
