<p>Dear Jan:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Good hearing from you. Thanks for pointing this out. I do not now know why I could have said that V2 is always intransitive. Clearly, V2 is transitive in example (11) in this paper!!! Oh my! Editors of this volume did not catch this either. Oh well, such
is life, one makes mistakes that no one catches!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It does happen to be the case that in the corpus of data I used intransitive V2s were more common. If I ever revise this, I would fix this, and try to reelicit every sentence with a native speaker myself. Anyway, it did put Lakota on the map as a language
with quite a bit of verb serialization.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>All the best,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Willem<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "calibri","sans-serif"; color: #1f497d;">Thank you for sharing your interesting paper on Serial Verb in Lakota.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "calibri","sans-serif"; color: #1f497d;">One thing that caught my eye is the statement that the V2 is always intransitive. In my experience compound verbs with transitive V2 are as
common as those with intransitive V2. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "calibri","sans-serif"; color: #1f497d;">I thought it might be something you would want to look at if you have a chance to revise the paper.</span></p>
