Subject: Looking for Oslo Working Papers 5 (1974)


I am looking for Oslo Working Papers 5 (1974).

This particular issue of an already rare series in the world's
libraries seems to be missing from the libraries that do have the
series, so if someone has this or knows how to get it, I am interested
in an article by Endresen and possibly (if it exists) one by Fretheim
on retroflexion in Eastern (as in Oslo) Norwegian.

The reason that I am interested--and maybe others will be too--is
because the way this works there (and similarly in Central, e.g.,
Stockholm, Swedish) is both (a) a challenge to linguistic theory
(which seems to have no systematic way of dealing with either
variation any better than Panini did) and (b) almost exactly like what
would account for the distribution of *L (I capitalized for clarity)
and *r as well as clusters of these two with a following
dental/alveolar vs. coalesced retroflexes, which have both been a
thorn in the side of Indo-European linguistics since at least the
1880s.
