grammaticalization of antipassives

[Wolfgang Schulze]

Dear friends and colleagues
please allow me making a perhaps somewhat unusual post. But maybe you 
can help me or give me some advise. I have produced an admittedly 
lengthy paper on "the grammaticalization of antipassives" in terms of 
split aspects systems, dealing mainly with Sumerian, Kartvelian, and 
Proto-Indo-European, but including data from other languages, too. You 
can download the first draft (attention: not yet proof-read by a native 
speaker of English!) from 
http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~wschulze/antipass.pdf . My problem is that I 
really don't know what to do with this paper. It is too long for 
submission to a journal (96 pages), and too short for producing a 
(slender and modest) monograph. Any suggestions (if ever you can imagine 
that the contents are of relevance for our community)? In addition, I 
would be happy to receive critics and other comments all of which would 
undoubtedly help to improve the quality of the analyses (I have posted 
the same to the LINGTYP list - so sorry for cross-posting...).
Many thanks in advance and best wishes,
Wolfgang
