<DIV>Hi, Rory. </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
