Additional information

This paper took shape in the course of a number of oral presentations during 1982, at the University of California, San Diego, University of California, Los Angeles, MIT, Harvard, and at the University of Texas. My thanks to all those audiences for much helpful discussion. I am grateful in particular to Sandra Chung, Richie Kayne and Tim Stowell for their help. Much of the work reported on here was done while the author was a visitor in the Dept. of Linguistics at UCSD and in the Center for Cognitive Science at MIT. Most importantly, I am very grateful indeed to Róise Ní Bhaoill, Seán Ó Colla, Dónall Ó Baoill and Liam Mac Con Iomaire for their patient help as informants.
