Embedded questions?

[Rory M Larson]

Hi Catherine,

Cool!!  I'd love to see what you found.  I've just finished reading the
paper you sent to Bryan a little earlier.  If you have any papers on
clause-structure, I'd certainly like to look at them.  I think they'd be
very relevant, even if they weren't specifically about embedded questions.

Hope to see you soon!

Rory

Hi, Rory.
I elicited a bunch of embedded questions in Omaha 20 years ago, but never
wrote up anything on them.  I think there are some examples in one or two
of my clause-structure conference papers???  Haven't looked at it in a long
time, and it would take me a while to dig through everything and find them.
But I would LOVE to do it when I have time ... and would love to see what
you're finding (as well as stuff on other languages).   We'll have to talk.

I'm going to follow up Bryan's inquiry with one of my own:
Has anybody done anything with embedded questions in OP, or
Siouan generally?  I'm thinking of things in the nature of:
"I don't know who it is", where the question is elevated to
an item of information that is then fed to an information
handling verb like 'know', 'think', 'tell', 'say', 'ask',
and so forth.

We've been exploring this with our speakers recently.  I
don't know if what we're getting is new, or old stuff that
I just never paid attention to before.

Cheers,
Rory
