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.

I am doing my research project and it mainly consists of adapating (to the
maltese language) the reading and spelling section of the PALPA.  I am
finding some problems in adapting nonwords to maltese>  are there any
studies which focus on how other languages adapted nonwords to their
language.  are there any criteria that are needed to adapt nonwords are
they are standard for every language?

I'm working on a masters thesis about US-American political direct mail.
Does anyone know of any archives where I can find samples of political
direct mail from the last 40 years?

If you can help me out, please e-mail to akirchherr at hotmail.com.

Thanks very much in advance!
