Can anybody provide references, pointers, or other tips with regard to
adjective & interpretation of the constructions, such as "It is foolish for/
of John to go there."?In particular ,an adjective "careful"?
(Could you give me your judgement of the following sentences?)
(1)<John was careful to burn the documents.>
(2)<It was careful of John to burn the edocuments.>
(3)<It was careful for John to burn the documents.>
Thank you in advance.

I am forwarding this message to a few lists for Guy Hazell.  Please
contact him directly at <Guy.Hazell at asml.nl> for more details
regarding his needs for the development of controlled language tools.

Best,

Jeff Allen



Hello everybody,

I have recently created a controlled language for my
company.
As a part of the further development in the use of this
language within the company I am looking into the
availability of tools for using the language.

We are operating on the unix platform and using Framemaker
as our main production tool. What I am looking for is an
existing tool, or a company that may be able to develop a
tool that can be a dictionary/grammar and rule checker on
this platform.

Has anybody any knowledge that could help me.

Thanks.
Guy Hazell  <guy.hazell at asml.nl>

Subject:  Ouch...

In English (at least in Ireland and I think America) kids
who hurt themselves say /aU/.  As I recall, in Germany it
was /'aU.wa/.  My 3-year old tells me the Swiss-Italian kids
in playschool say /'ai.ja/.  Clearly there is no universal
(though it would hardly be surprising if initial
stress/accent on bisyllabic forms were universal).  Can you
provide me with more regional variants? Is there dialectal
variation within a language?

If responses warrant, I'll summarize.

Fred
