Subject:  Child acquisition in mixed language household

I'm interested in locating resources for the process of child
acquisition of Creole (English-based or otherwise) in a household
where at least the mother's native tongue is not Creole.  I would like
to see, for example, what errors such a child may make in both the
mother tongue and the Creole.  Please e-mail me with any suggested
articles or books.  Thank you!  Kristin

Subject:  some information on 'other'

Hello,

I am looking for some information into the linguistic usage of the
word 'other'.  I am trying to represent a particular sentence in a
semantic network and I was wondering whether there were any linguistic
references that have anything relevant to say on this matter.

The sentence is of the form: x and other y yield z.  What I want the
network to infer is that either x is a y or x and y are members of the
same class.

In other words, we have a np followed by other np do the same thing.

Please send me some references if possible.
