I'm a graduate student at the University of Puerto Rico, and I'll
write my M. A. thesis on the use of resumptive pronouns in relative
clauses by L2 learners of English.

Does anyone know of any recent work on L2 acquisition of relative
clauses, particularly on resumptive pronouns?  Any information or
references that might be relevant to my topic are welcome.

Thank you very much,

I am now interested in the semi-modals "have to" and "have got to" in
English.

I think sentence (2) is more emphatic and more emotional than (1).  Am
I right ?  If there are any other differences between them, tell them
to me.

(1) You have to be kidding.
(2) You've got to be kidding.
Could you e-mail me directly?
With thanks in advance and best wishes,

Does anyone of you have any idea about :

1. the segmental / suprasegmental cues used by arabic 'hearers' to
recognize the dialectal origine of an arabic speaker ?

2. the way I could set up a perceptual test in order to analyse the
role played by intonation for the recognition of arabic dialects.  (I
intend to use low-filtered sentences produced by Arabic speakers from
different countries to see if any information is present on the F0).

Many thanks and best regards,
