Subject: Q: Russian case
Dear Linguists,
In extracting a corpus of Russian case-marked nouns I encountered the
following problem:
What case has to be assigned to forms like
v lesu
v shkafu
v prudu
v uglu
v tazu
na snegu
na mostu
na polu ?
It is not the dative because the stress pattern is different in most
cases and it is not the prepos'su. (dative)
Ja vspominaju o le'se (prepositional) '
Ja priblizhajus k lesu. (dative)
Ja vspominaju o'.
but:
Ja stoju v lesu.
It seems to affect only masculine nouns with a very typical locative
use. Are these situations where prepositional and locative dissociate
morphologically so that Russian in fact should be viewed as having 7
cases? Since I am not a linguist any help or references would be
greatly appreciated. Please contact me directly at

Subject: Mommy, where do nasals come from?
Perhaps the answer to the subject query is that, historically, nasal
segments always derive from earlier nasal segments.
Can anyone provide a clearcut example of nasal segments being
introduced ab nihilo? I would love to learn of an attested
phonological process that has no nasals on the left, but has them on
the right. An almost plausible hypothetical example would be
d -> n / t _ V
-A

Subject: peregrinisme
Greetings linguists!
I am a grad student in French linguistics studying anglicisms in the
French popular press. In mid-February, I saw a reference to Bernard
Quemada's definition of "peregrinisme" on another list and have been
unable to find either the original Quemada work with a definition or
anyone who knows of it. Any leads would be most appreciated.
