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.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject:  native speakers of Arabic  needed

Dear Linguists,

I am studying a construction in Modern Standard Arabic, which is
usually, but not always, treated as left-dislocation (Doron & Heycock
1999, Fassi-Fehri 1993, Mohammad 1999).  Examples are given below.

(1)hind-un   yuqa:bilu-ha  -ulla:b-u	
   Hind-nom  meet(3m)-her  the-students(m)-nom
   'Hind, the students are meeting her.'

(2)xaalid-un   ra?aa  sadiiq-u-hu     saalim-an
   Khalid-nom  saw    friend-nom-his  Salim-acc
   'Khalid, his friend saw Salim.'

My particular interest lies in the occurrence of the nominative case
particle un on various constituents and the positions in which these
nominative phrases may appear.  In order to carry out this research, I
need some native speakers of Arabic to help me with some data.  It
would involve occasional judgement and translation queries by e-mail.
If you are willing/able to help, please contact me at the above e-mail
address.

Best regards,
