Subject: Interlanguage in Learning a Foreign Language
Hello!
My name is Tanya and I teach Italian at the Jawaharlal Nehru
University, Delhi. I am trying to analyze some traits that are
peculiar to the Italian spoken and written by students of Italian in
Delhi. One of the points that I am investigating is the kind of
Interference present in their Interlanguages since they are learning a
foreign language (which varies from a 3rd to a 7th language) through
English which is not their mother-tongue.
I would like to know if there is research or studies on similar
situations elsewhere in the world.
I do hope to hear from you soon.
Tanya.
You could mail me at tanya_roy at hotmail.com or at tanyaroy at mantraonline.com

Subject: Etymologies
"Etymologies are either obvious or wrong". This is a saying I first
heard from my former teacher in Cambridge, the late Sir Harold Bailey,
who also knew its source. I made a note of it but cannot find it. I
thought it was an American linguist but I am not sure. It has been
suggested it may be Meillet, but no one has so far been able to give
me chapter and verse. It is not in the OED.
