Subject: Arabic Interrogative Clauses



Dear Linguists

I am currently investigating how adult Persian speakers acquire wh-movement
and Auxiliary raising in English Interrogative clauses. However, as some of
my subjects are Arabic-Persian bilinguals, I am interested to find whether
their performance would vary from Persian monolinguals. I appreciate it if
you would kindly introduce standard works analyzing Arabic clause structure
(declarative and interrogatives) within a generative framework.

Thanks in advance

Dear colleagues:

I would be grateful to receive any information about languages that do not
have final voiced consonants.  I am specially interested in those languages
that lack voicing distinction finally for conventional reasons, and not-
like German for instance- out of neutralization process.  Citations would
be also appreciated.
