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.

Dear all,

I'm looking for languages that allow for Verb Auxiliary orders of the
type of Dutch, German, SerboCroatian, Bulgarian... That is, Verb
Auxiliary orders that aren't base generated like that (i.e., in a left
branching structure), but have been usually attributed to leftward
movement of the verb over the auxiliary (either as long head movement,
remnant VP movement...). E.g., in Dutch

Gezien_i heb  ik Jan t_i
seen     have I  Jan

It would be wonderful if your replies include example sentences of the
particular language.

A summary will be posted in due time.

Cheers

Does a Chinese-Urdu dictionary exist, and how may I obtain one?
Simplified Chinese would be best, but certainly a Traditional Chinese
one would be better than none.

Thank you.
