Dear members of the linguist list,

A friend of mine not on the Linguist List asked me to post the following
request for information.

She is trying to locate a corpus of spoken american english
(face-to-face conversational data in both personal and institutional
contexts).  If you have any information regarding this, can you please
write to her (not me) directly.  A summary will be posted if there is
sufficient interest.  Thank you very much for your help.

Best wishes,

Subject:  Admissible Onsets in Russian and other onset-heavy languages

Request for References Concerning Admissible Onsets in Russian and other
onset-heavy languages:

I am interested in obtaining information regarding admissible onset
types in Russian and other languages which allow for heavy
onsets. Information on English is plentiful, but I haven't been able
to locate information on any other languages. I was disappointed to
find that Comrie's _Languages of the World_ contains no information
regarding admissible onsets in the various languages covered, although
I suppose that would go beyond what is possible to cover in a
one-volume work.  If someone could point me in the right direction,
I'd be very appreciative. Thanks,

David Harris                                   david at las-inc.com

Subject:  German Syntax Data


The "Institut fuer deutsche Sprache", Mannheim, would like to
hear from parties who have syntactic lexical data available
in electronic form for the German language.

We would offer a work contract for the automatic conversion
of the data to the GENELEX-conformant format (dtd).

Please contact Ann Lawson at lawson at ids-mannheim.de
to express interest.
