Subject:  Right Node Raising

I'm requesting some input on the Right Node Raising construction,
specifically whether it is not attested in any languages. I have collected
examples from Dutch, English, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Russian and
Spanish and am now wondering whether there is a language that doesn't
allow RNR. My informant for French hesitated when I asked for an
equivalent of "Peter bought a large (e) and Paul bought a small book". Is
this type of RNR not grammatical in French? How about other languages?
I will post a summary.
Thanks.

I am looking for a text, or a set of a dozen or so sentences, that cover
American English phonetics fairly well. That is, they contain all or most
of the phonemes in their major allophones, such as /voiceless plosives/
both [aspirated] and [unaspirated]. Please reply to me and I will summarize
to the list.
