MODALS:

Kronning, Hans (1996) _Modalite, Cognition et polysemie: semantique du
verbe modal devoir)_ Sudia Romanica Upsaliensia 54. Acta Universitatis
Upsaliensis.

This monograph deals with the semantics of the French modal verb 'devoir'
in a predominantly cognitive perspective. It is shown that the semantic space
associated with this modal is best analysed as polysemous. The homonymous
and monosemous analyses of verbs of this type are rejected.


MON-KHMER Studies.

Mon-Khmer Studies XXVI (1996) Special Volume dedicated to Dr. David
Thomas on the Occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. Summer Institute of
Linguistics, Arlington TX.

This volume is a collection of papers in honor of David Thomas. The volume
contains 30 articles on wide ranging topics such as morphology, phonology,
syntax, sociolinguistics, poetics, lexicography, orthography (and others)
of the Mon-Khmer languages.
