================================================================  

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.

Larry Horn and I would like to know whether there is a language which
has a single lexical item for reverse implication. It should translate
'only if' for example in (1):

(1) Only if the cat is very hungry will it eat cabbage

Please send suggestions to laurence.horn at yale.edu and/or
annabel at ling.ucl.ac.uk.
