Contour segments or complex onsets like kw (labialized velar) are very
common in many languages. But I want to know if the contour segments
as pj,bj, mj(palatalized labials),tj, dj,nj(palatalized alveolars) and
labialized alveolars and labialized palatals exist in any languages. I
need this crosslinguistic evidence for my thesis. I really appreciate
it if you can supply me with the answer or part of the answer.I'll
post a summary for this contour segment survey.

Dear list members!

I am planning a project on emotion cognition and motivation based on
Fauconnier's and Lakoff's work. I currently live in France and would like to
study cognitive science here at graduate level, and would be thankful for
information to my following questions. I'll be happy to mail a summary of
the answers if this will be of interest for you.

Interdisciplinarity / Curriculum

Does the entry level to a graduate course in French CogSci (DEA) mean that
only students from cognitive science's "standard disciplines" (AI,
neuroscientists, psychologists, and computer and other engineers etc.) are
accepted? (I've done an MA in literature with some cognitive linguistics).
How did others from non-standard background cope with the curriculum and the
general orientation of CogSci in France, also concerning PhD projects?


Funding

What are the possibilities for grants in France for DEA and PhD as a
European citizen?
Are there companies in France which would be interested in such a project ?


All comments are welcome.
Thanks

Marie
