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.

Hello,

I was wondering if there were any cross linguistic compendia of sound changes,
which would state, for representative samples of languages from different
families, the canonical and segmental changes, the unnatural changes, and for
each of these, the putative sequence of change,positional restrictions etc ?
Moreover, what is the state of art concerning sound change universals (with key
references, if possible)?

Thanks in advance for any reply.
Cheers,
Mahe BEN HAMED

Dear Linguists,

Aloha. My name is Burgel R. M. Faehndrich, and I am a Ph.D. student in the
Department of Linguistics at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I am doing
a research project about linguists and their interaction with computer
programs, specifically those designed for linguists. I am doing this
project for a LING 699 course about linguists and linguistics software. The
product of this survey will be a document describing the current situation
in linguist-computer interaction, which may be published at some point in
the future. The document will also contain recommendations for linguists
regarding usage of computer program for linguistics, and recommendations
for creators of software regarding what kinds of software are needed by
linguists.

To participate in the survey, please go to:

http://www2.hawaii.edu/~faehndri/

Or email me at faehndri at hawaii.edu.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Burgel R. M. Faehndrich
