Additional information

This paper incorporates material from Lasersohn (1988). Portions of it were presented orally at Ohio State University, Brown University, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Northwestern University, the University of Ottawa, and the 1987 annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America in San Francisco. Thanks to the audiences at these talks, and to David Dowty, Mike Geis, Arnold Zwicky and two anonymous reviewers for their comments. Remaining errors are my own, of course.
