Subject:  Korean Judgments Requested on "tense-doubled" Sentences
 
One of the native Korean speakers that I have been talking to
accepts sentences like the following (though acknowledging them
to be prescriptively unacceptable):
 
	Chelswu-ka  ppang-ul  mek-ess-ci  ha-ess-ta
	Chelswu-nom bread-acc eat-past-ci do-past-decl
	'Chelswu ate the bread'
 
The distinguishing feature of these sentences is that the past
tense morpheme "ess" occurs twice, once on the content verb and
once on "ha" 'do', but it receives a simple past interpretation
(i.e. 'ate' not 'had eaten').
 
I was wondering if there are others reading the LINGUIST list
who also accept such sentences.  I would be interested in hearing
feedback on whether or not this sentence is acceptable, as well as
where in Korea the speaker is from.
 
Thanks in advance.  I won't summarize to the list unless I get
requests to do so.

I am tyring all the possible resources I can locate to find out if a list
exists of the different spellings of Chinese  family names IE:
Zhang/Zheng  Wong/Wang etc.
 
Am in desperate need to find a list like this to be able to sort out
duplicate paperwork.
 
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Subject:  Lakhota Internally Headed Relatives
 
I am looking for answers to two questions regarding Lakhota
Internally Headed Relative clauses discussed by Williamson
(1987):
 
     (1)[[Mary [owiza wa] kaga] cha] he ophewathu
               Mary  quilt  a make  Ind Dem I-buy
               "I bought a quilt that Mary made."
 
Ques 1: Is it possible for the morpheme "he" that Williamson
glosses as DEM to contain a common noun, something like "that
quilt"?
 
Ques 2: Is it possible for structures like (1) to be used in
translating the following, "I bought a quilt that Mary made and
Bill too bought a quilt that Mary made"  where both conjuncts
have "[Mary [owiza wa] kaga] cha] he" or possibly just "[Mary
[owiza wa] kaga] cha]".
 
Thanks
