We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject:  Courses in "Linguistics Lite"

At the University of Arizona we offer a course entitled "Individuals
and Society" as part of a university wide general education
requirement. It is mostly taken by first-year students. Other
departments (Cog Sci. and Psychology for example) offer versions of
the course as well based on their core content.

For lack of a better way to explain it, I've been calling it
"Linguistics Lite".  We offer this class and Intro to Linguistics for
Non-Majors as well that is much more substantitive.

I would like to get in contact with others who are teaching this type
of class.

Thanks!
Elizabeth Winkler

I'm trying to find out about digital language documentation efforts
for a presentation. The use of computers allows for a number of
possibilities for increased access to language data, for linguists and
language communities. Examples of the use of technology in
documentation include pedagogical web pages, access to grammatical
information, interactive dictionaries, audio and video of endangered
language speakers, and other resources. Any information on resources
or projects currently available or under development would be
appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
