Subject:  Colour terms in exotic languages

Dear colleagues,

for a study on colour terms, we need some information about several
rather exotic languages. In fact, we would like to obtain English
translations (and/or explanations) of a number of words from the
following languages:

Dugum Dani, Jalé, Lower Valley Hitigima, Upper Pyramid (Central New Guinea)
Ngombe (Afro-Asiatic)
Pomo (Hokan)
Tiv, Baganda, Bambara, Lingala, Mende (Congo-Kordofanian)
Tongan (Polynesian)
Bisayan, Ellice Island, Somali (Austronesian)
Hanunóo (Austronesian)

If you can provide information on at least one of those languages,
please scroll down to the list of words we would like to be
translated. In case you can't read the special characters (like
accents, etc.), we could send you a Microsoft Word or an HTML file
with the same words.

Thanks in advance!

Z.Ling and a group of linguists at the Russian State University of the Humanities

Subject:  Situational Speech and Comprehension

I am interested in doing research on situational speech comprehension, it's
phonetics, and it's formation.  An example might be short term academic group
work in math or something similar.  If anyone knows of any literature on the
topic, it would be a great help.
        Thanks,
                    Jed Evans
