<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear corpora colleagues, some of the texts in my
corpora are short, but some are rather long.My Old Turkic corpus is only 5000
phonemes.Belorussian corpus is also rather small: only 30 000 phonemes. I
compared Belorussian sound picture to those of Ukrainian, Old Russian (50 000
phonemes), modern Russian (2 million phonemes), Czech, Slovak, and my other
156 languages in my corpora of the world languages. However, my results are not
published since I found no journal which would be interested in publishing my
article. Do you know any? Could you send me the e-mail addresses of some editors
of some possible journals? My phonostatistical comparison showed that
Belorussian is very much close to the OLd Russian texts I used. I guess we could
work together on a joint grant. A joint conference is also a good idea. I
welcome any sort of co-operation. Now I have added Udeghe, a Tungus-Manchurian
language to my corpora. I also plan to compare the modern languages with some
dead languages like Old Turkic or Kamasin. Looking forward to hearing about some
joint project or any other sort of co-operation in the field of typology and
phonetics to <A href="mailto:yutamb@hotmail.com">yutamb@hotmail.com</A> Please,
send me your messages to this e-mail address since the other one is overloaded
with spam. Be well, remain yours sincerely Prof. Yuri
