Who coined the term "Poverty of the Stimulus"?  Chomsky?  Can someone give me
the reference?  What was the original reference to "Principles and Parameters"?
 
Thank in advance for any pointers,

I am a grad student working with the Muscogee language for a special
project.  Does anyone know of a previous linguistic analysis of this
language, either in Georgia, Florida, or Oklahoma...perhaps?  I would
greatly appreciate any references.  Thanks.

Subject: movement within PP
 
Is anyone aware of a case where there is obvious movement of a
constituent within P' to spec-PP??  ie:   [ XPi  [ P  [... ti ...]]]
 
Has anyone suggested this construction for the Exceptional Case
Marking phenomenon??

Linguists,
 
        I am attempting to teach myself Urdu.  Are there any particular
study materials you would recommend?  I am especially interested in
books accompanied by audio tapes, since I have only limited access to
native speakers.
        I will post a compilation of the responses.
        Thank you!
