dear colleagues,
this is an urgent call for help: our research-group at the university bremen
is currently working on a large-scale typological project. our main aim is
to find out about the systematic relationship that holds between comitatives
and instrumentals in the languages of the world. for that purpose we have
prepared a number of questionnaires, the first of these questionnaires is
ready for distribution. therefore, we'd like to know who of you all would
like to participate by translating 23 short sentences into his or her native
language or favourite object language. there are english, french, german,
russian, spanish and turkish versions of the questionnaire. chose the one
you need and let us have your snail-mail address so that we can send you a
paper-copy of the questionnaire. it goes without saying that we will
explicitly acknowledge your participation in the planned publication!
of course, any other information f.ex. about corpora of comitatives and
instrumentals are welcome as well.
thanks a lot and best wishes.
thomas stolz.
