Hello!!

I'm interested in studying the structure of relative clauses which are in fact
part of a maximal NP. For my work I would like to focus on Indian language
Hindi. Can anyone suggest me any relevant reading or work done for such
constructions? Your suggestions are welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Preeti.

I am working with the history of the phonology and morphology of the Atlantic
language Fula, spoken across West Africa. One central problem is the changes /
alternations that the "glottalized" consonants can be involved in. The
"glottalized" consonants, 'b 'd 'j, are pronounced as either implosives or
creaky voiced stops ('j has changed into a creaky voiced semivowel, 'y, in
eastern dialects). I would be grateful for information about languages where
these consonants change into / alternate with nasals in a non-nasal environment.
