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.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject:  Case System in Latin



Hello,

I am a graduate student in linguistics in California.  I am writing a
paper on how RRG treats case markings in Latin.  I have had a very
difficult time finding information on this topic.  The text book for
our class is "Syntax" by Van Valin.  While he does discuss case
marking he does not specifically touch upon Latin.  I would be
grateful for any assistance that you could provide.  Specific
reference material would be most helpful, and possibly a slant
(perspective) on this rather daunting topic.

Thanks,
Deirdre

A student of mine has asked if there is any international lingua
franca within the deaf community, as English currently serves among
the hearing?  When deaf people from a variety of countries encounter
each other, is there some more-or-less agreed-upon language they can
use to communicate with each other?

Best,
Steven
