best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was

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

Hello everyone,

 I'm a PhD student and I am interested in relationships between
language and music with emphasis on influences of musical education on
language perception and production. I will appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Subject:  Aspect in the Baltic Languages

Dear Linguists,

Can anybody give me any information on how Perfective/Imperfective
Aspect is expressed in the Baltic Indo-European languages (Lithuanian
and Latvian)?  Is it expressed via the use of a prefix to indicate
Perfectivity, as in Russian? Or, since I know that Latvian, at least,
uses its genitive case with Partitive function, is the aspectual
distinction indicated, as in the Baltic Finnic languages, by an
Accusative/Partitive genitive alternation? Or do these languages use a
mixture of both?  So far, the information I have been able to find
relating to this matter has been contradicatory, so I would be very
grateful if anyone could clear this up.

Thanks,
Rose Thomas
