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.

Dear colleagues in the fiel of linguistics, do you know where to get
Manchurian Ugyghe, Evenk, Even, Nigidal or any other Tungus-Manchurian
electronic texts? Are there any corpora of Tungus-Manchurian
languages?  May be in Japan? Is it possible to get a 100 word Swadesh
list of Tungus-Manchurian languages?  Looking forward to hearing from
you soon to yutamb at hotmail.com Remain yours sincerely and hopefully
Yuri Tambovtsev

Subject:  Non-Constituent Coordination Cross-Linguistically

Hi, I'm currently investigating various non-constituent coordination
phenomena, and I'm curious what cross-linguistic work has been done
on two subclasses of this phenomenon: right node raising (RNR;
e.g. ''John wanted, and Mary thought Bill needed, another cup of
coffee'') and argument cluster coordination (ACC; e.g. ''John gave
Bill a book and Mary a record'' or ''John saw Kim on Tuesday and Sandy
on Wednesday'' where two or greater non-constituents of some form are
coordinated, cf. Steedman (1996,2000)).  I'm particularly interested
in whether there are languages that are lacking either RN R, ACC, or
both.  I've been informed that some dialects of French may lack ACC
but all the native speakers I've consulted seem fine with it.  Any
references or knowledge of such languages would be greatly
appreciated.  A summary will be posted.  (NB: There was a previous
post in 2000 by John te Vel de, LINGUIST List 11.2073, on just RNR but
I'm asking again as I'm also curious about the interaction of RNR and
ACC).

Thanks,
