Dear Linguists,

I am a linguist working at Lonely Planet Publications in the languages
section.

We are currently in the process of compiling a guide book to southern
India and Sri Lanka. for this we need small language sections
consisting of everyday phrases such as 'thank you', 'hello' etc.

I am looking for someone who could provide phrases in one or more of
the following languages. Of course suitable payment would be made.

Kannada
Konkarni
Malayalam
Tamil
Telugi

We definitely need the Tamil section but would be very happy to hear
from anyone who could help in the other languages.

Thanks in advance,

Peter D'Onghia

Subject:  Q: English dictionaries

Dear all,

I am looking for (machine readable or printed) dictionaries which
provide _explicit_ information about selectional restrictions of
English verbs (e.g. that "drive" selects an object that belongs to the
semantic class <vehicle>).

Thanks for your help!

Hi!

Does anyone know how to get by the Sibe-Manchurian recordings made by
Jerry Norman in 1965 to 1967 in Taipeh? Are there any other
recordings? Thanks in advance!
