Subject:  hybrid functional categories

Dear friends and colleagues,

I am working on the structure of complement clauses in Japanese, and I have
come up with an idea that Japanese might have hybrid functional categories.
Then, I am interested in such categories in other languages.

I think some linguists have proposed a category called CONFL, a hybrid
category of INFL and COMP, for Germanic languages.

I would like to know papers and books that deal with such categories.
I will summarize your responses and post them.
Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Dear Linguists,

It's Marjan. I am an M.A. Student in Linguistics. I am writing up my
thesis. It's about "Women, Men and Writing Differences", because as
far as I know, lots of researches have been done regrading Spoken
Differences between the two sexes and I can receives pieces of
information through the books available in my country (I am from
Iran), but not regarding Writing Differences. Now, I ask your kind
help, whether by referring me to/sending me different essays or
introducing me a website through which I can receive pieces of
information.

As a matter of fact, one of the limitations of this research is the
age of the subjects which is between 12 to 13 years old, because I
considered the "Critical Period" as a deadline for acquiring first
language. But I think I can generalize the result to adult men and
women.

I am eagerly waiting for your kind response.

Yours.
Marjan Tavakkoli.
