I think I read somewhere that English-learning children sometimes
treat BETTER as an auxiliary, giving examples like "We better go now,
bettern't we?" Can anyone confirm (or refute) this memory?

Dear Linguists,
     A fellow Student is looking for a couple of recent books in
English on Syntax, Phonology, and Morphology of the Spanish Language.
If you know of a particularly good book written in the last five
years, I would appreciate the recommendation.  Thanks for the help,
responses can be sent to the following email address:

yours,  WITH.M. Bean
