<div>Dear all,<br>
</div>
<div>I am coding some Hindi child language samples, and came
across<br>
some sentences which got me wondering about the grammaticality<br>
of the following types of sentences:<br>
</div>
<div>(1) yeh saaDii mai.n ne pehenii huii hai.<br>
(2) aise phal mai.n ne khaaye hue hai.n.<br>
(3) mai.n ne idhar biskut chupaa kar rakhe hue hai.n.<br>
(4) idhar biskut rakhe hue hai.n.<br>
(5) aurat salwaar kamiiz pehene huii thii.<br>
</div>
<div>A colleague of mine and I feel that "hue" can be used
in intransitive<br>
constructions (with a stative reading) and is usually incompatible<br>
with "-ne", but I was wondering whether (1) to (3) are
really infrequent<br>
in<br>
colloquial speech. Are all of these sentences are equally
acceptable<br>
to other speakers of Hindi?<br>
</div>
<div>I would be very grateful for any comments on this.<br>
</div>
<div>Thanks very much,<br>
