We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then  strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list.   This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

I will be teaching a course entitled "Linguistics for Students of
Literature" next spring (2001) and am interested in finding out about
textbooks, websites, workbooks, syllabi, and any other materials that might
be of interest to me as I decide how to teach the course.  Please reply to:
 lwaugh at u.arizona.edu (I am Linda Waugh, Professor of French, English and
Linguistics at the University of Arizona).  Thank you for your help.  I
will provide a summary of replies for the listserve.

In English there are structures such as the following:

Peter watered the roses flat
Mary kicked the door open

And even with 'intransitive' verbs:

Sarah ran his shoes threadbare

My query is: does the language you speak/use/know/study allow
constructions like these?

Could you supply any example? (best with morpheme-to-morpheme paraphrases, please)

Of course, I will e-mail a summary if I get a reasonable number of responses.

Best regards,
Jose-Luis.
