Dear list subscribers:

In my pragmatic course a student has suggested a topic of research :
Idiomatic expressions and its relation to pragmatics (with special
mention to teaching languages, learning languages, understanding
utterances) I am asking if some researches have already been published
or your reaction from your own experience in the field thanks a lot
for your valuable help!

I'm posting this request on behalf of a colleague at the University of
Cincinnati. She is doing her dissertation on Volunteer ESL Instructor
Training and was asking for any citations referring to this for her
literature review.

Please respond directly to her at Stephanie.Gilbertson at uc.edu .

Thank you,

Tom Dinsmore

Subject:  German modal particles

Dear linguistlist,

My name is Dan Tracy from Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria,
Australia. I am currently writing my fourth year thesis concerning the
modal particles of German and in particular their use in the context
of the "German as a foreign language" classroom. This subject is of
particular interest to me as I have been studying German for a number
of years now (including eighteen months in Germany) and have found
this area to be a particularly unique aspect of linguistics. I would
be very grateful if anyone could let me know of any recent studies
relating to this topic.  Thank you.

Dan Tracy, Fourth Year Student, Monash University.
