Dear everyone,
 
Any help you can provide with the following would be very gratefully
received.  I've had a request from a second year doctoral student in
Iraq for references to books in the following areas - I don't really
work in these areas of linguistics myself (and the range does seem
rather broad) - does anyone know of good textbooks in:
 
comprehension, communication theory, sense and meaning,
intelligibility, encoding.
 
If anyone knows of a good basic text book that covers most of these,
even better.
 
Thanks in advance - please contact me directly: s.goodman at open.ac.uk

Dear Linguisters,
 
does anybody know if there is an electronic version of the Bible on
the net available for queries, etc. Or a site of Biblical studies?
 
I promise to post a summary.
 
Thank you very much.

Subject:  HTML for Middle English "yogh"
 
 
I'm putting together a polyglot version of the Gospel of Luke,
containing Old, Middle, and Modern English.  The one character that
I'm having problems with is the Middle English "yogh".  I know the
HTML code is &y; or &yogh;, but I'm finding that although Netscape can
correctly display the eth, thorn, etc., it can't do the yogh.
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks in advance,
