Dear Linguists,
 
I teach English in th U.S. and recently one of my students asked me to
discuss   the use of   adjectives  instead of  adverbs (especially  in
American English), as in:
"How are you?"-"Good"/"Well"
"Drive real slow"/"Drive really slowly".
 
I tried to dig into books, but I have not found a systematic treatment
of the  question.  Is there a   book, an article, or   a knowledgeable
linguist out  there   that could give  me  some  help?  I  would  need
something  that satisfies  a  "real advanced" student   with a lot  of
curiosity and language intelligence.
 
Hoping to hear from you,
Judit

I am looking for a lead or references for an analysis or discussion of
those words such as "Uh huh, oooh, ouch, ow, Huh?, Oh oh, mmmh" etc.
Expletives is one class of such words - are there others?
Thanks

Would there happen to be someone out there with vast knowledge of
"Galicismos/Galicisms", especially regarding the Camino de Santiago de
Compostela/Le chemin de Saint Jacques de Compostelle?  Many thanks in
advance.  Please reply to Laird Pelzer at pelzere at gusun.georgetown.edu.

Several years ago I bought the first volume of a good, reader-friendly
introduction to GB theory in Spanish titled simply La Sintaxis and
written by Maria Luisa Hernanz and Jose Maria Brucart and published in
1987 by Editorial Critica in Barcelona.  The first volume deals with
simple sentences only.  The authors promise a second volume dealing with
complex sentences, but try as I might, I have been unable to get any
information about whether or not the second volume has come out. We are
needing volume two for courses at the University of Costa Rica, and would
genuinely appreciate any information you can provide us with.
 
Thank you,
