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:  Speaking rate differences

Dear List Members,

To help with a grant application we are working on, I'd like to know if
anyone knows of research on:

- differences in speaking rate between languages

- differences in speaking rate between varieties of the same language

- differences in speaking rate between different social groups, including
age groups

- reports and stereotypes about differences in speaking rate

In our project, we would like to put suppositions about the above onto a
firmer empirical footing.

Many thanks

Paul Kerswill

Subject:  Yaghnobi sentence?

Hello,

does anyone know of a sentence in the Yaghnobi
language (belonging to the Northeastern Iranian
languages) that simultaneously contains a FULL subject
and a FULL direct object NP marked with the suffix
"-i"? This phenomenon is supposed to occur in
sentences with past tense and definite direct object.
