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:  Italian isogloss (essere/stare)

Hello everybody

I am looking for any source concerning the isogloss essere/stare in
Italian (Max e'/sta serio).

I have already found some normative remark of the Accademia della
Crusca (Valeria della Valle e Giuseppe Patota, Il Salvaitaliano,
Milano, Sperling & Kupfer Editori, 2000
http://www.accademiadellacrusca.it/faq/faq_risp.php?id=4013&ctg_id=93)
but I would need something about the concrete linguistic boundary.

Thanks in advance

Sara Vecchiato

Subject:  Recent changes in the German language

I am currently writing a disseration on the globalisation of the
English language with particular reference to the effects on
Germany. I am therefore looking for any evidence of recent change in
the German language, especially syntactical change, or any information
at all which would help me research the topic. I am also interested in
any articles written on the subject in general.

I would be very grateful for any help.
Thanks
Catherine Hewett
