I am still in need of some help in my research into the many and varied words
that are common in the area of Africa  and the middle east.
 
The words I am researching are:
 
Man  --  Woman -- Child -- Son -- Daughter
 
Any input on any or all of these words in as many native dialects, tongues,
languges as possible would be very much appreciated.

I'd be grateful to receive information regarding recent 'state-of-the-art'
articles on magnetic resonance imaging used for speech analysis (especially
speech disorders); and x-radiography/fluorography used for disordered
speech analysis.
 
Only articles since 1990 please! Thanks.

Help: British Ameliorative terms not perjorative ones
 
A friend and colleague from Nizhny Novgorod (formerly Gorky) in
Russia asks for additional information or sources for her
dissertation topic.
 
British ameliorative (as opposed to perjorative) terms which are
expressions of positive feelings--approval, admiration, compliments,
laudation--and how they have changed over time.  She also is trying
to tie their supposed shortage of ameliorative terms to previous
psychological works or even essays on aspects of the British emotional
character, their REPUTED reserve, even coldness and unemotionalness.
She just needs a few supporting references for the latter.
 
Her name is Marina Stepanyenko, an instructor of English at the Nizhny
Novgorod Linguistics University (the third largest foreign language
program in Russia.)  E-mail:
 
NNRAPIC at GLAS.APC.ORG  and FAX: 8312-35-62-53.
 
Or, if you prefer, you may send any information to me at the Department
of Languages and Linguistics, Florida Atlantic University
(a state university below Palm Beach) in Boca Raton 33431.
 
Thank you.
 
Bob Trammell
Professor of Linguistics

Subject:  tonogenesis
 
I am posting the following query for Mr. Leen Sandee, a student
in my department:
 
        "I would like to get in contact with people who know
        about languages with recently attested instances of
        tonogenesis, i.e. languages in which tonogenesis has
        only very recently occurred or that are just in the
        process of developing tone."
 
Please send replies to:
        L. Sandee

I'm presently pursuing an MA-TESOL course and I need an online Applied
Linguistics Dictionary. Does anyone know where I can find one?
 
Thank you all in advance.
