Thank you Herb and Barbara for your help.  I will check out the Biber book--I have it but haven't read it yet.  Barbara, I would appreciate the references very much if it isn't too much trouble.  And, of course, if anybody else has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

 

This listserv is the greatest . . .!

	This is something I have been working on.  I have about a dozen lesson plans exploring grammatical topics in conversation, drama, newspapers, and adolescent literature.  I found writings by Gee, J.R. Martin, and James Moffatt helpful.  I could try to track down those references if you want them.
