Issue 5 of the syntax-semantics newsletter _Snippets_ is now out.

The contents of Issue 5 are:

1. R. Amritavalli and Partha Protim Sarma.  A case distinction
   between unaccusative and unergative subjects in Assamese.
2. Paolo Acquaviva and Mark Volpe. Open-class roots in closed-
   class contexts: a question for lexical insertion.
3. Andrew Kehler. Another problem for syntactic (and semantic)
   theories of VP-ellipsis.
4. Winfried Lechner. Negative islands in comparatives.
5. Sky Lee. Telicity and VN-LV vs. VN-Acc-LV.
6. Hans-Christian Schmitz and Bernhard Schröder. On focus and
   VP-deletion.
7. Ed Zoerner and Brian Agbayani. A pseudogapping asymmetry.

  From the SNIPPETS Editorial Statement:

 The aim of _Snippets_ is to publish specific remarks that
 motivate research or that make theoretical points germane to
 current work. The ideal contribution is the ideal footnote: a
 side remark that taken on its own is not worth lengthy development
 but that needs to be said.

 We will publish notes that contribute to the study of _syntax and
 semantics in generative grammar_. The notes are to be brief,
 self-contained and explicit. They may do any of the following
 things:

 a. point out an empirical phenomenon that goes against accepted
 generalizations or that shows that some aspect of a theory is
 problematic;
 b. point out unnoticed minimal pairs that fall outside the scope
 of any existing theory;
 c. point out an empirical phenomenon that confirms the
 predictions of a theory in an area where the theory has not
 been tested;
 d. explicitly describe technical inconsistencies in a theory or
 in a set of frequently adopted assumptions;
 e. explicitly describe unnoticed assumptions that underlie a
 theory or assumptions that a theory needs to be supplemented
 with in order to make desired predictions;
 f. propose an idea for a pilot experiment in language acquisition
 or language processing that directly bears on theoretical
 issues;
 g. call attention to little-known or forgotten literature in
 which issues of immediate relevance are discussed.

 We will solicit submissions issue by issue. A new submission
 deadline will be announced for each issue, and the submissions that
 we receive we will consider only for that issue. The submissions
 that we accept will be printed in the upcoming issue; none will be
 scheduled for a later issue.

 Submissions are to be a _maximum_ of 500 words (including examples),
 with an additional half page allowed for diagrams, tables and
 references. Given that we envision the submissions themselves as
 footnotes, _the submissions may not contain footnotes of their own_.
 The ideal submission is one paragraph; a submission of five lines is
 perfectly acceptable. _We will not consider abstracts_.

 We will accept electronic submissions at the address
         snippets at unimi.it
 Paper submissions should be sent to

 Caterina Donati
 Facolta' di Lingue
 Universita' di Urbino
 Piazza Rinascimento 7
 61029 Urbino
 ITALY

 We strongly encourage electronic submissions. Electronic
 submissions may take the form of the text of an e-mail message, or
 an attached file. The attached file should be a simple text file,
 a Word file (Mac or Windows), or a Rich Text Format (RTF) file.
 All submissions must state the name and affiliation of the
 author(s), and a (postal or electronic) return address.
