To the readers: Does anyone know whether there is any family-internal
variation in structure/usage of reduplicative constructions in Algonkian? I'd
be especially interested if the western languages were odd compared with the
rest of the family. Thanks.

Dear members of the list,

I am looking for bibliographic references to books/papers dealing with the
syntax of action nouns such as "destruction", "discovery" etc., e.g. as in
"the Huns' destruction of the city/the city's destruction by the Huns",
"Colombus' discovery of America/the discovery of America by Colombus".

Please send information to my personal email address: lmfosse at online.no.
I'll be happy to make available a list of the references that I receive for
Linguist.

Best regards,
