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:  non-IE HAVE



I'm looking for as much information as possible about HAVE type verbs
(ie verbs with a 'possessor' subject and a 'possessed' direct object)
cross-linguistically.  I have provided a list of typical uses of HAVE
in English, which could come in useful for comparison.

1  Lucy had a brother
2  Lucy had a baby
3  Lucy had a top hat on
4  Lucy had her car fixed (causative)
5  Lucy had her car stolen (experiencer)
6  Lucy had succeeded
7  Lucy had to go to Paris

Examples from non-indoeuropean languages in particular would be most
gratefully received.

Thank you for your help- I will post a summary later.

I am looking for descriptions of external sandhi in American English,
especially such pronunciations as are often written "gotcha" (for
canonical "got you"). I will post a summary to the list if there is
sufficient interest.

I am involved in researching the work of M. A. K. Halliday.  Does
anyone know if there are any official or private collections of his
writings anywhere?
