We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then  strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list.   This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

Subject:  Q: viewpoint in children's writing
 
I am interested to hear about any work, completed or in progress, in
the investigation of either:
 
(i) linguistic viewpoint
(ii) speech and thought presentation (aka reported speech etc)
 
but ONLY in writing by children or in books written for children. I'm
particuarly interested in the 7-9 year age range, but I'd like to hear
about studies on any age range. Thanks, I'll summarise to the list,

Subject:  about Japanese
 
Dear linguists,
    I am a graduate student. I am looking for the Japanese translation
(transcribed in the sound system like (4)), with its English gloss of
 the following sentences:
    (1) Tom was not likely to like Mary.
    (2) Tom was likely not to like Mary.
    (3) It seemed to rain yesterday.
     What are the main differences between the Japanese raising verb
and the Japanese suffix? Could you give some examples? Is the Japanes
"aw" (each other) a raising verb or a suffix? Why?
     Is the following sentence acceptable?
 (4) John to Mary ga sensei-tati ga home- ta to zyasui si-aw-ta.
     John and Mary Nom teacher Pl  Nom praise Past that suspect do Past
  If yes, does it mean "John and Mary suspected that teachers praised
each other" or " John and Mary each suspected that tecahers praised
the other"?
    Many thanks for any help.
