Subject:  "all" and "every"

Can anyone point me to work done on the semantic differences between
the quantifiers "all" and "every"?  Clearly they don't mean exactly
the same, but has anyone studied exactly what the differences are?

Thanks for any help,

Alice.

Subject:  umlaut and vowel harmony

Has anyone on the list ever run across a situation where a language has
both:
(a) regressive vocalic assimilation of the classic umlaut type,
proceeding from suffix to adjacent root
AND
(b) progressive vocalic assimilation of the classic vowel harmony type,
proceeding from root to suffix(es)?

I have seen this to some extent in Telugu, and I'm wondering how
widespread the phenomenon is.  Please respond to me personally, and
I'll post a summary to the list if there are enough responses.

Thanks in advance,

Hello everyone
I'm in the process of establishing a corpus for my phd dissertation and it
looks like on-line chat sessions like IRC may be the object of analysis.
Presently, I'm looking for references regarding the language used in these
settings, specifically, wrt abbreviations "like wrt, for instance" :) and
phonological adaptations, like "k" for "ok", or "k7" (in french) for
"cassette", or even "kk1" in French for "quelqu'un" and so on. [it's only
coincidence that these examples all begin with "k" *smile*]

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
TIA
David
