Dear Linguists,

Traditionally, the point is that anything below the level of
catogories is just a bag of features. It seems that it does not matter
whether these features can be organized linearly or hierarchically. My
proposal is that at least formal features of categories can be
organized hierarchically so that they can be mapped to the syntactic
structure in which the categories might occupy. Would anybody who
shares the same view with me please write to me to further this
advocation?  Also in constructing such a hierarchy, I find that I have
to make a hypothesis that one parameter can be made within another
one (e.g. one feature within another feature). Can this P-within-P
sound? I need your suggestions or references to complete this idea.

Thank you all for your attention.
Ressy Ai

Dear All:

Can someone please tell me the email or mail address of John Taylor,
the author of Linguistic Categorization: Prototype in Linguistic
Theory? Some of my colleagues and students and I want to translate the
book to Mandarin, and need to get the permission of the author.

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!

I am interested in a Bachelor's degree in linguistics, maybe with a
minor in Russian. Is there a university or college that offers such a
thing via distance learning/correspondence? I live near a junior
college where I could take freshman and sophomore generic classes, if
needed. I've looked around some, including through most of the list of
institutions listed on the LINGUIST list web site, but haven't found
any programs that are offered via correspondence.

Thanks,
