Subject: Active languages
Dear linguists,
when preparing a summer term lecture on "active typology" I wondered
whether anybody had ever published a full list of those languages that
are thought to adhere to this typology (more or less completely/
canonically). Though it is clear that the relational type "active
languages" should be questioned with respect to a more general actant
typology, it still would be helpfull to me if I had in hand a list of
those languages that are interpreted as "active". So, if you know of any
such a comprehensive list, it would be great to let me know.
ELSE: If we still don't have such a list available, could you just send
me the name (together with a reference, if possible) of the "active
languages" you know? It would also be good to have a list of those
languages, that show older traces of "activity" or that are on the way
towards an active split.
In case a comprehensive list does not exist and in case I get hold of a
sufficient number of languages, I would be ready to prepare such an
overview to post it on the list.
Many thanks,
Wolfgang

Subject: Conceptual Metaphors
Dear metaphorists!
At present I am a Ph.D student at Sheffield University.
My linguistic work is built on conceptual metaphors and metaphors
expressing moral categories in particular. The latest article I have
on this problem is "The Metaphor System for Morality" by George
Lakoff. There are certainly more works in this field. Any reference
to published and unpublished works on the topic will
be appreciated.
Thank you very much for your help.

Subject: Spain's languages
To all subscribers:
I am a graduate student and am seeking information on the effects of
Franco's language planning/policies on Spain's languages (other than
Castilian). I am concentrating on Basque and/or Catalan.
What I am particularly interested in is what happens to a language when
it is forced out of the public domain; how a language changes as a
result of being supressed. I am looking at this in terms of
Spain's languages. I am aware that only Castilian had official status
during most of Franco's rule (although I have yet to find specifics on
his policies), so I am interested in what happened to the other
languages.
In order to understand the situation in context, I am interested in
learning about the status of the language(s) in the early 20th Century
(pre-Franco) as well as under Franco's regime and in the decades since.
How have these language(s) changed, adapted?
I would appreciate any information/advice.
Thank you,
