In ancient China (500 BC to 500 AD), the indigenous peoples of the
southeast were known collectively as Yue*, and had their own language,
presumably some non-CHinese language in the Sino-Tibetan family.  Does
anyone know of any studies of ancient Yue, and what branch of
Sino-Tibetan it might have belonged to?

*  Yue as in "to cross over"; not the yue for Cantonese.

I would appreciate references to floating quantifiers in English (or
any other languages that has them). Am interested both in data and
theoretical accounts of them. Thanks

Dear linguists,
 
I am interested in attaining a TESOL certificate (or any other such
pedagogical qualifications offered in the U.S.) within the next year,
but have had trouble finding courses offered this summer in my area
(Oregon-- Portland, Salem and Newport).  I would greatly appreciate any
information on such courses for teaching English as a foreign or second
language, for example, a list of colleges or possible correspondence work.
Also, I've been informed that there is a TESOL and TOEFL newsletter
(joint-venture?)  Could I get the address?
 
Please respond to me at h130640 at stud.u-szeged.hu
 
Sincerely,
 
Crystal Elinski

Subject:  Misc. queries
 
 
 
I have several queries that stem from students in an undergraduate
linguistics class. They will do library searches, but I am interested
in anyone who is aware of unusual materials or websites they could
visit.
 
(1) Lists of British/American dialect differences, esp. in syntax/morphology
(2) IPA teaching packages with _sound_
(3) Studies of the phonation of singers/poets who use multiple levels of
pitch, such as the Tuvan singers
(4) Why do singers from various English-speaking countries seem to lose
their regional accent when they sing?
 
Please reply directly to me, and I will forward your reply to the
appropriate student. Thanks.
