LFG List - query on LIH

[Daniel L. Everett]

I wonder if there are more recent works 'defending' the Lexical Integrity 
Hypothesis than the Bresnan & Mchombo piece in NLLT 95?

Facts from Wari' seem to suggest that Lexical Integrity may be a violable 
constraint. I wonder if anyone has proposed diagnostics for LI beyond 
those of B&M's article.

Any pointers would be appreciated as I think through the issues and the 
facts. (The facts that concern me are discussed briefly in my chapter on 
Wari' in the Handbook of Morphology and in various sections of the new 
Routledge grammar of Wari'.)

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is
in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot
stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again---and that is
well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore."
-- Mark Twain
