Probably. Though I haven't a clue where to find more info. The table might be from a book called "Cognitive foundations of grammar", but I'm not sure. I just have the table on a hand-out from a course last year. In the description of the table it says that it is "based on Brown 1983". Hmm. A book by Brown from 1983... How many can there be... ;) Daniel
