I'm creating the framework for the Atlas... literally; it's going to use frames and Javascript. Hopefully I'll get a few maps done before I leave on vacation next week. <p>I'm reading yet another book on historical linguistics, and I'm wishing I had more reanalysis in Almean languages-- it's truly neat. A syntactic example: there's a construction in Chinese that works like this:<p> <i>Cheng bâ Zhang dâle</i><br> Cheng obj Zhang hit-perf<br> Cheng hit Zhang<p><i>bâ</i> is an object preposition (like Japanese <i>wa</i>. But it derives from a verb meaning 'take hold of'. So, the original form of such sentences meant something like "Cheng took hold of Zhang [and] hit [him]"; the current meaning is just "Cheng hit Zhang". Neat, huh?<br>
