hello all--

my undergraduate linguistics students are interested in forming a
linguistics club.  they have many ideas about what they'd like to do,
such as to inform people about how linguistics enriches one' life, to
tutor esl students, to show films and invite speakers on language
themes, etc.

they would like to know whether other universities have linguistics
clubs (as opposed to linguistics graduate student societies, which
have different concerns).  they'd like to get in touch with other
universities' students in order to share ideas.

any info would be greatly appreciated.  send responses to me and i'll
pass them on.

best,
lynne murphy

I will be writing my honours thesis (Department of
Linguistics/University of New England/Australia) on sexism in
Portuguese. I am finding it very difficult to access material done
in/on Portuguese in this particular area and I would be incredibly
GRATEFUL if someone could help me with references. I am a native
speaker of Portuguese but I also speak/read Spanish, French, German -
and English (of course), so I am flexible. Also I haven't narrowed
down the topic as yet so I am interested in everything that is (even
remotely) related to grammatical gender issues and (other)
manifestations of sexism in Romance languages.

Thankyou!

Maria da Graca

Hi everyone,

Can anybody point me to whereabouts of Richard Nivens who did
fieldwork on West Tarangan. I once had his eaddress but I cannot get
in touch with him at that address.  Direction to any previous work on
that language will be greatly appreciated too.

Thanks for any help.

Does anyone know if there is a video offered for sale that includes a
demo of the "McGurk effect" (e.g. audio has "ba", video shows face
articulating "ga", but observer perceives "da")??
