Re: a few questions

Just a few questions...

1. (This question may have been answered already. If so, apologies. A
few of the digests came through unreadable) A while ago, J Pearson
answered a question about unergative sentences. I was wondering what the
difference between this and intransitive sentences was.

2. Does anyone know (or know where I can find) the origins of the word
'okay'?

3. What does ergative mean?

4. What is the difference between a creole and a language?

Tristan
