Dear SEELangers:

Since last June I have written and called Szwede Slavic Books in California
at least four times asking them to send me a catalogue of their Polish (as well
 as Czech and Russian) books. I still have not received a catalogue.  I'm
perplexed. Is this typical of Szwede Slavic Books, or am I doing something
wrong? Has anyone else experienced this problem, or have a solution?

Thanks.

Dear SEELangers:

What are the best Science Fiction novels and films which have been published
and produced in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries?  I have
students who are keenly interested in Science Fiction/ Fantasy / Speculative
fiction and cinema and who would be interested in expanding their knowledge of
the genre beyond the Anglo-American boundaries.  (I plan to to order some
novels and films for our university library as well.)

Recommendations? Thanks.

Among Polish novels, I'd recommend Stanislaw Lem's "Kongres Futurologiczny"
and perhaps "Pamietnik Znaleziony w Wannie" (literal translation of titles:
"Futurological Congress" and "Diary Found in the Bath Tub").

Your students might enjoy Juliusz Machulski's movie "Seksmisja" (the title
is a pun combining sex and mission), but it requires some understanding
of totalitarian propaganda to fully appreciate.

Hope this helps,
Leszek.

The Slavic Languages and Literature Department at the University of
Washington is still alive and well, with a fully-funded summer program
including intensive elementary Czech and four levels of intensive Russian
language.  For a summer program application, call 1-800-543-2320.

Title VI fellowships are available:  application deadline February 1.
For a fellowship application, call (206) 543-6001, the Student Services
Office of the Jackson School of International Studies.  Eligible students
for the fellowships are U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are
undertaking training (usually advanced) in specific modern foreign
languages, in combination with area studies, international studies or
internatiounal aspects of professional fields.

The summer program runs June 19-August 18.  All summer students pay
in-state tuition rates.  Applications are accepted by mail through
June 1.

My apologies if this is too commercial, but the fellowship deadline comes
long before our printed materials will reach people, so SEELANGS seemed a
way to reach at least some possible interested students.

Subject: DOS Russian Keyboard
Message-ID: <THU.5.JAN.1995.122909.GMT.>

If anybody has acquired the Russian Version of Windows, they will
know that it comes with Code Page 866 support - although the manual
is not all that informative about it.

One can hence prepare and activate code page 866, which means that
characters with values over 127 appear as Russian on the screen.

It is also possible to install a Russian keyboard, by issuing the
'keyb ru' command. What this does not do is to generate Russian
characters when keys are struck. A number of Russian keyboard
drivers have a hot key ( such as Shift-Shift ) which switches from
Latin to Cyrillic and back. Has anybody chanced to find out whether
there is a hot key for the DOS Russian keyboard, and if so, can
anyone tell me what it is? I've tried most things except
Ctrl-Alt-Del!

Well, it is a while since I read any, but I would think of the following as
coming somewhere in your list:
Bulgakov: The Master and Margarita
Bulgakov: The Cursed Eggs (Giant Crocodile roaming russia only to be killed
off by the purga)
I'lf and Petrov: various, among them: The 12 chairs, The Golden Calf.

I have some collections of soviet satire which may include some of the

                "Computers and Teaching Literature"

Computer-aided instruction is a well-established part of most composition
curricula; but how are we incorporating computers into our literature
teaching?

Papers should _describe_ and _analyze_ the use of computer technology in
teaching literature.  How are teachers incorporating computer use, both
in and out of the classroom, into curricula, classes, individual
lessons?  How, for example, are teachers using on-line or CD-ROM editions
of texts?  Having students use CD-ROM and Internet resources as research
tools?  Using on-line discussion of and response to texts?  Creating new
literature-related instructional software?

And what uses of computer technology have particularly succeeded?  Or
failed?  And why?

Proposals of two pages in length should be sent to

***********************************************************
TUTORIALS (for Connor-Linton and Spielmann tutorials,
maximum of 20 participants; no participant limit for Krashen
workshop):

MONDAY, MARCH 6
"Criterion-referenced curriculum and test development for
language teachers and administrators"
Presenter: Dr. Jeff Connor-Linton, G.U. Dept of Linguistics,
(202) 687-6156
   Criterion-referenced measurement will first be explained and
exemplified, especially in contrast to norm-referenced
measurement.  Next, the process of criterion-referenced language
test development (CRLTD) and its benefits for language testing
(increasing positive backwash and content validity) will be
described.  A hands-on workshop on criterion-referenced test
specification will follow, which models the process teachers and
administrators may use in their own classrooms and programs.
Finally, ways in which criterion-referenced test specification
process can be used to improve language curriculum coherence
and articulation will be discussed.

TUESDAY, MARCH 7
"Language acquisition and language education:  A review of
research and theory and current issues"
Presenter: Dr. Steve Krashen, School of Education, University
of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0031

   This workshop will cover, and attempt to integrate, material
presented at my GURT presentations since 1989.  It will review
evidence for and against the input hypothesis, the Reading
Hypothesis, applications of the input hypothesis to beginning
and intermediate language and literacy development, the role of
light reading, and applications to bilingual education.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8
Authentic documents in the language class: Theoretical
perspectives and didactic applications
Presenter: Dr. Guy Spielmann, G.U. Department of French,
(202) 687-5717

   This workshop proposes to examine in detail the theoretical
premises (based on elements from pragmatics, philosophy of
language, and semiotics) which justify an extensive use of
documents in elementary and intermediate language courses.
It will also provide very concrete and actual examples of how
this can be done to achieve optimal didactic impact.
   There is an apparent consensus today on the usefulness and
value of authentic documents in teaching foreign languages.
Such accord, however, only emphasizes the lack of theoretical
grounding on the meaning and the role that documents
should play from the very beginning of instruction.
   If we question why documents are so parsimoniously used in
beginners' classes, and then mostly for illustrative purposes, we
begin to expose some of the most glaring philosophical
problems of language education today. Our point of
departure will be to review the reasons (explicit or not) for
which documents are so sparsely exploited, and trace their
origin to both ideology a set of a priori beliefs about the nature
of language an d a sense of practicality  a set of beliefs
about what can be done in class.
   I will then briefly introduce some basic concepts of
Multidisciplinary Integrated Language Education (MILE), in
order to provide new directions in thinking about the value of
documents as primary evidence in the language complex
(including Code, Content, Context, and Culture).
   Through a few very specific examples of activities, I will
indicate how the theoretical premises of MILE can translate into
an interdisciplinary, document-based language class even at the
full beginners' level.  I will then conduct a brainstorming
session with participants in order to elicit further examples of
activities reflecting the same fundamental principles.
   Finally, I will discuss some theoretical and practical
considerations on the collection and selection of documents, as
well as the limitations to their use.

   Civil Society News and Resources for the former USSR

   CivilSoc is an electronic mailing list of news and resources,
   electronic and print, of interest to individuals and
   organizations engaged in civil society institution-building
   projects in the NIS (former USSR).  Because some subscribers
   based in the NIS must pay for all incoming mail, we intend to
   keep postings concise: an average of 1-3 kilobytes, with a
   monthly volume of around 20-30 kilobytes.

   Examples of items that CivilSoc will contain include:

     *  Books and resources available in print and electronically
     *  Civil society institution building projects in the NIS
     *  Curriculum available via e-mail, and other distance
        learning materials
     *  Grant Opportunities
     *  Lists of e-mail contacts
     *  Reviews of Internet mailing lists (Listservs)
     *  Job opportunities
     *  Brief profiles of 3rd sector organizations worth knowing
        about

   Topics that CivilSoc will cover include:

     *  Agriculture
     *  Art
     *  American studies
     *  Business
     *  Civic education
     *  Consumer protection
     *  Criminal justice
     *  Disabilities
     *  Environment
     *  Health
     *  Law
     *  Media
     *  NGO organizational development
     *  Public administration
     *  Social welfare

   A regular feature will be an electronic edition of CCSI's
   monthly newsletter, "Civil Society ... East and West."

   To subscribe to Civilsoc, send a one-line e-mail message with

Subject: Geog. names in Russian
Message-ID: <MON.9.JAN.1995.140707.0500.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.BITNET>

We are now preparing the 2nd printing of Golosa I. We have made
corrections to the map in the book's cover. Our question is to what
extent the Russian press has gone back to "old" names. Ostankino TV has
now reverted to "Russian" variants for places like Modavia, Belorussija,
Alma-Ata, etc. Naturally, they have retained rechristenings that involved
a total change of name (e.g. Bishkek for Frunze. On the other hand, it's
nack to Kirgizija, not Kyrgyzstan).

To what extent has the rest of the press followed this root? My initial
impression is that Ostankino is in the minority among the media, but that
they reflect what actually happens in most spoken Russian.

Thanks, Rich Robin

I just finished reading "Iazykovoi vkus epokhi" by V. Kostomarov of the
Pushkin Institute and would like to recommend it highly to fellow
seelangers. He gives a very interesting summary and analysis of changes
in the language of the mass-media during the past few years. I purchased
the book at the conference in Sand Diego for $12 from Russian House PUb.,
but I don't know who is distributing it--he published it himself with
Pedagogika Press, 1994. You will find all your favorite words and ex-
pressions in it, like tusovka, krysha poexak (that's l)a, and krutoi.

Greetings and Happy New Year.

A brief announcement regarding the Ukrainian portion of the
ftp/gopher site infomeister.osc.edu.

1) Several new JPEGs relating to Kiev have been added to the images
section.  They are: kiev8.jpg through kiev16.jpg.
(/pub/central_eastern_europe/ukrainian/images)

2) A children's section has been created with two Ukrainian children's
fairy tales (both in KOI8 and AV Cyrillic coding) uploaded along
with related illustrations.
(/pub/central_eastern_europe/ukrainian/children)

3) Two files (results.txt and results2.txt) relating to both the
presidential runoff election held in July and the various Parliamentry
elections held through out 1994 have been added to the 'gov' section.
Thanks to Christine Demkowych of Intelnews for this information.

The are

Hi!
It's hard for me to resist, so I won't: the answer resides on p 386 of
magnum opus also known as the second edition of Russian's World: Life and
Language by one Genevra Gerhart, Holt/Harcourt, January 1995. Six
additional new chapters and major additions to old ones. etc.
The specific answer to your question is: it depends. Some newspapers have
one policy and insist that their writers follow it. Some newspapers allow
their journalists to spell it the way they want. Generally, if the
communication is between Russians in Russia, then the Russian form of the
name is preferred (Moldaviya, Kirgiziya etc).  When a letter to the
editor from a former republic is printed then they use whatever the
letter-writer wrote.  The choice in any case is going to have political
overtones these days.
Happy reading!          Genevra Gerhart       genevra at u.washington.edu

I was wondering if the rapid political/social changes since the end of the
USSR have lead to the censorship of many writers being withdrawn?

I am also quite interested to find out about Western
writers being published in Russian. E.g., it took many years
in the West for D. H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterly's Lover" to get openly
published. Has there ever been a Russian edition of this book?

I am also wondering if new editions of the works of previously
censored writers are being made available. For example, the collected short
stories of Isaac Babel first appeared (as far as I can discover)
in an English translation in the mid-1950's. This translation would have been
based on the Russian edition published in his lifetime, which was probably
 subject
to censorship. New editions of Babel's writings have probably appeared in
recent years, but are they widely available?

My apologies if this is a frequently asked question on this list.

Ft. Carson, Colorado, needs contract instructors in Ukrainian.  The 10th
Special Forces Language Institute in Ft. Carson, Colorado, intends to
employ ethnic Ukrainian-Americans to teach Ukrainian language and area
studies.  Qualifications that include DLI instructor training, video
teleconference training, and computer skills are desirable but not
mandatory.  Work involves 16-week blocks of full-time employment teaching
basic and intermediate Ukrainian (not Russified Ukrainian).  This will
include a paid 4-week trip accompanying students to Ukraine.  Refresher
training of 1-6 weeks (full-time), which may require overseas travel, will
be provided if needed.  Overseas travel will be on travel orders with pay
entitlement.  Pay is $10.00 to $15.00 per hour plus paid travel for
training and overseas work.  No relocation expenses will be paid.  Serious
inquires only.....please.

From: Patt Leonard, Managing Editor of ABSEES
Re:   Improving ABSEES Online -- We want your opinions

Some of you are familiar with the American Bibliography of Slavic and
East European Studies (ABSEES) and its electronic version, ABSEES Online.

ABSEES is published under the auspices of the American Association for the
Advancement of Slavic Studies, and has appeared in annual printed editions
since 1957.  ABSEES includes citations for books, book chapters, book
reviews, journal articles, dissertations, etc., that are published in
North America.  When the compilation of the Bibliography came here, to the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in 1991, ABSEES Online was
created, and it contains the citations from the late 1980s to the present.

To access ABSEES Online, telnet to our host computer (alexia.lis.uiuc.edu
or 127.174.4.10), log on as "absees" with the password "slavibib".  Then
follow the directions on the screen.

            telnet alexia.lis.uiuc.edu
            login: absees
            Password: slavibib

If for some reason you cannot make a direct telnet connect to ABSEES
Online, you may send your query to me, and I can search the database and
send a copy of the results to you via e-mail.

The ABSEES Online interface allows users to make comments at the end of
their search sessions.  In the coming weeks, Rebecca Routh (our Assistant
Editor) and I will be looking closely at the user comments that we have
received, with the aim of refining the ABSEES Online interface and making
it easier to use.  Please take a look at ABSEES Online and let us know
what you think could be done to make the interface easier or more
intuitive for you to use.  We are also interested in your opinion of the
online help.  We appreciate your feedback, because we are always looking
for ways to improve our service.  Thank you!

Dear SEELangers,

The site hosting this list, CUNYVM, is now running a new beta (test)
version of the LISTSERV software.  Most people will not notice any
difference.  The exception to that is the following:

The default mail header has been changed to FULLHDR (FULLBSMTP).
In English, this means that you may notice that the headers (those
lines at the top of each mail message containing routing infor-
mation) will be longer.  This is perfectly normal.  It won't affect
the operation of the list in any way and you'll continue to receive
list mail normally.

Sorry for any confusion this change may have caused, and feel free
to write me directly with any questions.

I am not pleased at my lack of success at obtaining a copy.  I tried three
large book store chains.  None of them were aware of the book or how to
order it even with the article above given to them as a print-out.  I tried

Dear SEELANGers,

Does any of you SEELANGers know about a LIST called "RUSSIAN" at
LISTSERV at ASUACAD.BITNET. I have tried several times to subscribe to the list
but didn't succeed in doing so. Although, a "DBlook" command responds like this:

>000944 94/02/28 00:00   26   RUSSIAN on LISTSERV at ASUACAD.BITNET<

After trying to subscribe I receive the following message:

>No LISTSERV list by the name of "RUSSIAN" is known to exist. Note that
lists can be marked "confidential" and that the existence of such lists is
usually known only to the server that is actually hosting it.<

Is this a confidential list?

Could anyone send me an updated list of all lists focusing on Russian and
Slavonic linguistics?

                      January 6, 1995

Dear Arts Advocates:

      As you know, since the November elections the future of our
national cultural agencies, including the National Endowment for
the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the
Institute for Museum Services, is seriously threatened.  These
agencies are facing severe cuts to their current funding or
possible elimination.  Arts advocates across the country must act
NOW if these agencies are to be saved.

      The Emergency Committee to Save Culture and the Arts, a
project of the American Arts Alliance, has set up a 1-900 number
(it is already working!) so that arts groups, artists,
volunteers, arts patrons, audience members, contributors, local
businesses, vendors and suppliers can quickly and easily register
their support for continued funding for the arts and culture with
their members of Congress, for a nominal fee.  Time is short. You
are invited to use this number immediately.

      When you can call this number, 1-900-370-9000, the following
will happen:

1.)   The caller will be handled by a live operator.  Following a
      brief statement that the call costs $1.99 per minute and
      that you must be 18 or over, the operator then asks the
      caller if he/she would allow the Emergency Committee to send
      a mailgram in the caller's name to their two Senators and
      one Representative.

2.)   If the caller says yes, the above process takes place and is
      billed to the caller's home phone.  The caller leaves
      his/her name, address, and zip code which is then matched
      with the corresponding congressional district to assure that
      the correct elected officials receive the mailgram.

      The Alliance has put together a steering committee currently
made up of more than a dozen organizations to participate in
message development and the disbursement of any funds that are
collected over and beyond the costs for set up and maintenance of
the number.  You are invited to join this steering committee.
There is no cost for this participation.

      In order for this emergency campaign to be effective, we
need your help to widely distribute the 1-900 number.
Distribution of the number can be accomplished through the use of
flyers, word of mouth, printing it in all local newspapers and
membership organization's newsletters, radio announcements,
posters, and on local computer Bulletin Board Services.  (The
first flyers are now available.  Please call for a copy).
Curtain speeches educating audiences about the crisis and drawing
attention to ways to respond, are extremely effective and we urge
you to undertake these and other activities.  The success of the
emergency campaign depends on this effort.

      The future of arts and cultural funding in this country is
being determined by members of Congress NOW.  More than ever, the
voices of arts supporters must be heard.

      Thank you for participating in this critical grassroots
effort.  Please call the American Arts Alliance at 202-737-1727
if you would like to join the steering committee or have any
questions.

The National Assembly of Local Arts Agencies (NALAA), in conjunction
with 57 other national arts and humanities agencies, has created a
special 800 Number Call-In Campaign to advocate for federal funding of
the arts and humanities.

These groups have committed to a united message and a collaborative
effort to inform all members of Congress that the NEA, NEH, and IMS are
vital to the arts and humanities in America and that federal funding has
a strong role in maintaining these agencies.

The call-in effort works in the following way:

    1. A person calls 800-651-1575.
    2. The call is answered by a live operator.  The operator describes
       the message and tells the caller that for $9.50, three Western
       Union telegrams will be hand-delivered the next day to the
       caller's Congressional Representative and two Senators.
    3. If the caller agrees, the above process takes place and is
       billed to the caller's home phone.  The caller leaves her/his
       name, address and zip code which is then matched with the
       corresponding congressional distric to assure that the correct
       elected officials receive the mailgrams.

You are urged to use this number in any or all of the following ways:

    *  Call the number yourself
    *  As your family and friends to call the number
    *  Re-distribute/Forward this message to others

Please do not wait!  NALAA and its affiliated agencies are working to
create additional tools to help promote this number and other advocay
efforts.

My "Slovar' sokrashchenii russkogo iazyka" lists "RB" as a possible
abbreviation for rybolovnyj bot.  Although a bot is a small vessel
(rowboat,sailboat, outboard motorboat) perhaps this is the meaning of
your abbreviation.

Opps, I'd better learn to read transliterated letters.  A second trip to
the Dictionary of abbreviations comes up with "plavuchaia baza" as a
possible meaning for the abbreviation "PB". Please pardon me for the
inconvience of the first incorrect message.

Listening Comprehension Exercise Network:
Changes in procedures

LCEN will start producing exercises with the Russian Vremya
and the French broadcast of this Friday, Jan. 20. You can
continue to get exercises in the traditional way, or you can
use the new procedures outlined below.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! MACINTOSH USERS, please note! In the past, you have   !
! downloaded files as non-binary RTF files. From now on !
! you should download files as BINARY files. Open them  !
! in your Macintosh word processor as TEXT files.       !
! The entire procedure is described below.              !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW DOES LCEN WORK? We announce which SCOLA or Univision
newscasts will be covered. Look for notices on SLART-L,
FLTEACH, and LLTI.  You make arrangements to have them
recorded. That LCEN exercise writers prepare material cued
to the broadcast in question. The next day you get the
exercises for the broadcast you taped from an Internet site.
Print out and distribute the exercises to your students.
Then send them to the media center to watch the newscast.
LCEN exercises are designed for second- and third- year
students.

HOW DO I GET LCEN EXERCISES FROM THE INTERNET? Exercises are
now available in three places:

A.  WORLD WIDE WEB

1.  Select the exercise that you want to download. (See
    "WHAT ARE THE EXERCISES NAMED," below). You will see the
    exercise appear on screen, although letters with
    diacritical marks (as well as all Cyrillic) may look
    like gibberish, if you do not have access to the fonts
    necessary through your browser.  Don't worry, everything
    should be okay once you download the file to your own
    computer.
2.  Once you have selected the file you need, give the command
    to bring the text down to your own disk, depending on
    the WWW browser at your disposal.
3.  MOSAIC USERS: open the save dialog box to
    download the document to your own computer's disk.
    Russian users of Mosaic will see Cyrillic on screen only
    if they have installed the appropriate font and made it
    the active font in Mosaic. But don't worry if you can't
    see the foreign characters while on-line. They should
    download properly anyway. If the file downloads directly
    to your PC, skip to step 6. If, on the other hand, your
    download puts the file into your account on the mainframe
    of an Internet provider such as America On-Line or a
    university Unix machine, you will have to download from
    there directly to your PC. Go to Step 5.
4.  LYNX USERS: press p for "print." In fact, you will not
    be printing the file per se immediately. Instead
    choose the "save a file" option. This will put the LCEN
    exercise on your mainframe's disk under your account.
    (Note: On-line, Lynx users will not see accented letters
    or Cyrillic, but if the files are properly selected and
    downloaded, the foreign letters should arrive intact on
    your own computer.)
5.  The exercises are now on your own Internet account. You
    must now download them to your PC. For this, you should
    ask the tech people how to download a *binary* file from
    the mainframe account to your PC. Chances are you will
    use some form of Kermit.
6.  Once it is safely on your own disk, load the file as a
    text file into your word processor and print it out.
     ______________________________________________________
    |RUSSIAN WORD PERFECT 5.1 USERS, PLEASE NOTE! You must |
    |start WordPerfect 5.1 with the command "wp/cp=899".   |
    |Only then can you successfully import the file as text|
    |with the Cyrillic intact.                             |
    -------------------------------------------------------


B.  FTP TO GWUVM.GWU.EDU. See "FTP Instructions" below. This
    ftp site is likely to have the exercises first.

C.  FTP TO ftp.dartmouth.edu
    See "FTP Instructions" below.


FTP Instructions

1.  From your Internet connection, enter the command:
    ftp gwuvm.gwu.edu or ftp.dartmouth.edu/pub/LLTI-IALL/LCEN
2.  If asked to identify yourself, enter: anonymous
3.  When asked for a password, enter your computer address
    (e.g. someone at somewhere.state-u.edu)
4.  Enter: bin (DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP!) If "bin" does not
    work, try any of the following: BIN, binary, BINARY, I,
    i, IMAGE, image.
5.  If you have ftp'd to ftp.dartmouth.edu, then enter:
    pub/LLTI-IALL/LCEN
    If you ftp'd to gwuvm.gwu.edu, do not do this.
6.  Enter: get xxxxxxxx.xxx
    where xxxxxxxx.xxx is the name of the exercise set in
    question. More on that below under WHAT ARE THE
    EXERCISES NAMED. (Cyrillic makes doing Russian harder.
    Russian users should ftp to gwuvm.gwu.edu, sign in as
    anonymous, and get lcenruss.txt.)
7.  The exercises are now on your own Internet account. You
    must now download them to your PC. For this, you should
    ask the tech people how to download a *binary* file from
    the mainframe account to your PC. Chances are you will
    use some form of Kermit. Mac users do not have to worry
    about *binary* downloading.
8.  Once it is safely on your own disk, load the file as a
    text file into your word processor and print it out.
     ______________________________________________________
    |RUSSIAN WORD PERFECT 5.1 USERS, PLEASE NOTE! You must |
    |start WordPerfect 5.1 with the command "wp/cp=899".   |
    |Only then can you successfully import the file as text|
    |with the Cyrillic intact.                             |
     -------------------------------------------------------

If you are completely unfamiliar with FTP, ask your computer
technical assistance people for help.

WHAT ARE THE EXERCISES NAMED? In step 5, you use the FTP get
command. But get what? Instead of xxxxxxxx.xxx, pick the
file that best suits your needs:

Windows users:                 xxxxMMDD.wri
WordPerfect for DOS            xxxxMMDD.wp5
Macintosh users                xxxxMMDD.mac

The "xxxx" is the language code: replace it with one of the
following: fren, germ, ital, span, russ.

MMDD stands for the month and day of the broadcast in
question, e.g. span0923.wp5.

IMPORTANT: Russian users should ftp to gwuvm.gwu.edu (as
anonymous) and get lcenruss.txt for information on how to
deal with Cyrillic. After January 23 they can access the GWU
Slavic home page through the World Wide Web for information
on Cyrillic fonts. The access is
http://gwis.circ.gwu.edu/~slavic/cyrilize.html

From: BILLINGS at PUCC.BITNET (Loren Allen Billings)
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 1995 17:18:57 EST
Subject: translation needed
In-Reply-To: Message of Mon, 16 Jan 1995 15:52:01 -1000 from

Message-ID: <TUE.17.JAN.1995.171857.EST.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.BITNET>

Actually, I believe that Prof. Derbyshire meant _p/b_ (as in the unvoiced
bilabial stop before the slash).  My _Slovar' sokrashenii_ lists one
possible solution:  _plavuchaia baza_, some sort of floating dock, from
what I can tell.  (Incidentally, there appears to be nothing in the
_Voenno-morskoi slovar'_ that resembles _p/b_.)  Thus, the combination
_kapitan p/b_ could mean the skipper of a seagoing dock of some sort.

As for _rambus_, RAM (random-access memory) is translated in the _Slovar'
po programirovaniiu_ (approximate title) as either _operativnaia pamiat'_
OR _operativno-zapominaiushchee ustroistvo_, the latter abbreviated as
_OZU_; and BUS as either _shina_ or _magistral'_.  Who knew!

I hope this helps, Bill.  --Loren A. Billings (billings at princeton.edu)

As a postscript, John Dingley informed me at AATSEEL that my spelling
on SEELANGS had gone from bad to worse.  I hope this is an improvement.

Subject: IREX Short Term Travel Grants
Message-ID: <TUE.17.JAN.1995.193433.EST.>

    IREX Short-Term Travel Grant Application Guidelines


The International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX)
offers travel grants for brief visits (1-2 weeks) which
do not require administrative assistance or logistical
support (such as placement or access to archives, housing,
visas, travel, etc.).  Please read the following guidelines
carefully, and contact IREX with any questions on
eligibility.

APPLICANTS must meet all of the following eligibility
requirements:
o    US citizen or permanent resident;
o    PhD or equivalent professional/terminal degree in the
 project discipline at time of application; those holding a
 professional/terminal degree should contact IREX regarding
 eligibility;
o    Projects in humanities or social sciences focused on
 Central and Eastern Europe or Eurasia*;
o    Scholars with projects concerning Mongolia, and
 scholars who are employees of US federal government
 organizations, should contact IREX before submitting an
 application, regarding availability of funding.


   APPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEADLINE DATE TO
                          QUALIFY.
DEADLINES:  February 1, 1995; June 1, 1995; October 1, 1995.
Applications received after the deadline will be returned to
the sender.  Applicants are encouraged to use priority mail
 services to ensure that the application is received by the
                         deadline.


PROVISIONS:  Grants will normally not exceed $3000.
o    Transoceanic APEX airfare on a US flag carrier (consult
 a travel agent for fares_generally the grant will pay up to
 $1450).
o    Per diem for up to 14 days, not to exceed $100/day to
 cover in-country costs for meals, lodging, and local
 transportation only.
o    Applicants inviting a foreign colleague to the US may
 apply for funds to cover temporary health insurance for the
 foreign invitee, up to a maximum of $65.
o    Conference registration fee to attend a conference, up
 to a maximum of $100.
o    Visa application costs, up to a maximum of $50.
o    Miscellaneous expenses, up to a maximum of $100
 (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING AND EXPENSES
 APPROPRIATE TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT).

MAXIMUM STAY:  Applicants may stay up to thirty (30) days
total (with any additional per diem expenses covered by the
applicant).  However, all travel, whether connected to the
research, or for personal reasons, may not exceed thirty
(30) days.  Applications with itineraries exceeding 30 days
will not be processed.  Individuals requiring stays of more
than 30 days (and/or administrative support) should apply to
the IREX program for Individual Advanced Research in Central
and Eastern Europe or Eurasia.

APPLICATION MATERIALS:  Applicants must submit an original
and four (4) complete copies of all of the following
materials:
o    The 1994-1995 Short-Term Travel Grant application form;
o    A 3-5 page (typed, double-spaced) proposal essay,
 describing the activity, methodology, anticipated results,
 and project significance, particularly with respect to the
 American academic, Slavic studies community; for
 collaborative activities, describe the nature of the
 collaboration and how it evolved;
o    The applicant's abbreviated curriculum vitae (no longer
 than 3 pages);
o    An official letter of invitation for conferences,
 lecturing, consultations, or collaborative work;
o    A biographical sketch or curriculum vitae for a foreign
 colleague invited to the US.

EXCLUSIONS:  The following items will not be considered for
the Short-Term Travel Grant Program:
o    Itineraries exceeding 30 days;
o    Passport application costs;
o    Transoceanic travel undertaken on a non-American flag
 carrier;
o    Medical expenses (inoculations; dental insurance;
 health insurance, except for a foreign guest);
o    Grantees should check with IREX before submitting items
 under Miscellaneous Expenses.  Expenses will only be
 accepted in this category if funds have been awarded to the
 grantee as per the official Terms and Conditions.

DUE TO THE LARGE number of applications and limitations on
funding, projects with multiple participants may not receive
full funding for all participants.

NOTE ABOUT SELECTION PROCESS AND NOTIFICATION

SELECTION CRITERIA:  The IREX Selection Committee for this
program has identified a number of criteria which they
consider when reviewing all applications:  (1) academic
merit of the proposed project (including its relevance for
the Slavic studies community); (2) well-documented need for
in-country research and a clearly stated research
methodology; (3) language skills adequate for research on
the scholar's topic in the host country; (4) feasibility of
the proposed time frame; (5) demonstration of serious
preparatory work with the general literature available in
Western repositories, basic guides to host-country archives,
and current research; (6) applicant's record of publication;
and (7) reasonable budget request.

NOTIFICATION letters are sent to all applicants
approximately eight weeks after the deadline.  No
notifications will be made prior to that time, and decisions
cannot be disclosed by telephone.  Grant checks become
available approximately one month after receipt by IREX of
the signed grant contract, and no sooner than two months
prior to the start of the project.  All IREX-funded project
activity must be completed within one year of the
application deadline.  Permission for departure from the
proposal must be secured in advance from IREX.

SELECTION COMMITTEE:  The IREX Selection Committee for this
program is composed of senior scholars who represent a broad
cross-section of US universities and disciplines.  Selection
Committee members are familiar with IREX programs and in
many cases have participated in an IREX program at some
point in their academic careers.  Members of the Selection
Committee are appointed by the decision of the IREX Program
Committee on the authority of the IREX Board of Directors.
New members are chosen based on recommendations from current
Committee members, the IREX Program Committee, and IREX
staff.  Disciplinary, geographic, age, and gender balance
are taken into consideration in determining the final
composition of the Selection Committee.  IREX staff provides
administrative support only, and does not participate in
selection of grantees.

ACTIVITIES FUNDED BY THIS PROGRAM:
o    Individual scholarly, academic research visits to
 archives, libraries, museums, etc., or to conduct
 interviews;
o    Presentation at scholarly conferences focused on
 Central and Eastern Europe and/or Eurasia;
o    Invited lectures or consultations;
o    Collaborative projects such as joint publications and
 comparative surveys;
o    US scholars may invite 1-2 colleagues from the
 countries of focus to the US for collaborative research,
 publications, surveys, or conference presentation; the US
 scholar is considered the applicant.
o    In general, conferences which are located outside the
 geographic regions covered by this program are NOT eligible
 for funding through the Short-Term Travel Grant Program.
 Contact IREX for confirmation of eligibility.

SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS will be responsible for obtaining all
necessary travel documents, including visas, whether for
themselves or for a foreign colleague.  Applicants should
check with the relevant country's embassy for specific
information on necessary visas, or with a university's
office of international programs for the appropriate visa
for an incoming scholar.

I  think  this is the right address. They have  organised  POlish

In addition to the course at Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, there are also summer
courses for foreigners at Warsaw University's Polonicum (from personal experi-
ence as a student, I can say that their advanced course is very good), Catholic
University in Lublin, Poznan University, and Wroclaw University. There are
almost certainly ones at other universities, too.

Message-ID: <WED.18.JAN.1995.112943.0500.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.BITNET>

Dear Colleages,

I would like to thank all the members of AATSEEL who helped to make the
1994 San Diego conference such a success, and I look forward to seeing
you all again in Chicago in 1995.

AATSEEL joins the Internet: In addition to the published Calls for Papers
that will appear in the Feburary newsletter, an up-to-date list of all
panels, as well as copies of all conference-related forms and memoranda,
will be available continuously by anonymous ftp at ftp.pitt.edu in the
dept/slavic/aatseel/ directory. These same materials, as well as an html
listing of all panels, will be available continuously on the World Wide
Web at http://www.pitt.edu/~djbpitt/slavic.html.

To Propose a Panel: If I did not receive Panel Declaration Form for your
panel by 15 January, it has not been included in the Call for Papers in
the February newsletter. Don't panic; a second Call for Papers, listing
panels declared between 15 January and 1 March, will be published in the
April newsletter. Please contact the appropriate division head if you wish
to propose a new panel.

For Panel Chairs: Once your panel has been accepted, your division head
will send you a Panel Roster form. Please return this directly to me
(not the division head!) so that I receive it by 15 April. Because many
members may read a paper at one panel and serve as chair or secretary at
another, I must have all Panel Rosters in hand by 15 April so that I can
check for scheduling conflicts. Several members in San Diego expressed a
desire for a later deadline, and we will be examining ways to arrange
for this for the 1996 conference, but for 1995 I am afraid that we will
have to retain last year's mid-April deadline, and I appreciate your
cooperation in meeting it.

Equipment Requirements: We will be able to honor requests for
audio-visual and other special equipment that I receive by 15 March. I
will try to accommodate later requests, but this may not always be
possible, so please reserve early. Equipment costs are extremely high
and are assessed by the day, and hotel policy requires that we rent from
them, rather than bring our own. We set this early deadline so that we
can schedule all panels with equipment requirements for the same room on
the same day.

For Participants: If you wish to give a paper or serve as a discussant,
please contact the appropriate panel chair, as listed in the Call for
Papers. If no panel seems right for your paper, you may either propose a
new panel (see above) or contact the appropriate division head, who will
help you find a suitable panel for your paper.

I look forward to seeing you all in Chicago.

        Many thanks to all of you who answered my reply. Loren Billings
(among several others) is quite correct. The abbreviation p/b stands for
'plavbaza', 'floating base' aka 'mother ship', one of those floating fish
packing/processing ships to which smaller ships deliver their loads.

        I came across the word 'rambus' in two different, but similar, texts.
As it turns, it was a typo both times. The correct unscrambled form is
'ramburs', a little used foreign borrowing meaning 'reimbursement'. The
standard dictionaries don't have it, but it can be found in dictionaries
of foreign borrowings.                  Bill Derbyshire

Dear SEELANGers,
I am writing a thesis on how Walt Whitman's poetry was translated
by six different Russian poets during the Twentieth Century.  Since a
historical perspective is an important dimension of my commentary,
I am attributing dates to specific translations under discussion
wherever possible.  Unfortunately, there are a few poems published
in one collection of Russian Whitman translations (publisher
"Khudozhestvennaya Literatura," Moscow, 1970) that I have not
found anywhere else.  The 1970 edition lists no information about
when its contents were first composed or published.  Does anyone
have ideas about how I can track down this information, including
reliable ways to contact the publisher? (I have found out that they
have no e-mail.)  Any leads on this fact-finding mission will be much
appreciated!

P.S. I am sending this note to more than one list, so I apologize in
advance for any unwelcome multiple appearances.

aware of any software on the market? I ahve made quite a few phone calls,
and there seem to be many languages available, but none for Czech. My
hope is that perhaps you, or your students might know of something. Also
I plan to travel to the Cz. republic in spring and am looking for an

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND ADMINISTRATORS
AS POSSIBLE:

CONGRESS THREATENS TO CUT GRADUATE/ PROFESSIONAL STUDENT AID BY 9.6
BILLION OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS!  PROPOSED CUTS WOULD INCREASE
GRADUATE/PROFESSIONAL STUDENT INDEBTEDNESS BY UP TO 50 PERCENT,
RESULTING IN THE LARGEST COST INCREASE IN GRADUATE/PROFESSIONAL
EDUCATION IN U.S. HISTORY!


TO:    Graduate/Law/Health Professions Students

FROM:  Tony Rosati, Information Exchange Coordinator
       National Association of Graduate-Professional Students
       ROSATI at GUSUN.GEORGETOWN.EDU
DATE:  23 January 1995


As part of its federal budget reduction discussion, Congress is
considering eliminating the in-school interest exemption for
undergraduate and graduate/professional student loans.

Currently, the federal government pays the interest accrued while
students are enrolled,  and for the first six months after they
graduate.  Proposals under consideration by Congress would add this
additional interest to students' loan principal, which could increase
graduate/professional student indebtedness by up to 50 percent.

THIS WOULD RESULT IN THE LARGEST INCREASE IN THE COST OF GRADUATE
AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IN THE NATION'S HISTORY.

Eliminating the interest exemption has a greater negative effect on
students the longer they stay in school, and as such most severely
affects graduate and professional-degree-seeking students.  For example,
Student A attends school for four years to earn a bachelor's degree
and attends graduate school for an additional two years to earn a M.A.
degree.  Upon graduation, this student would owe $34,125. If the
interest exemption is eliminated, the student would owe an additional
$9,167, or a total of $43,292.  This represents a 27 percent increase
in educational indebtedness, increasing monthly payments from $409 to
$520.  The extra cost over the life of the loan would come to about
$14,000.

Student B receives a four-year undergraduate degree and then spends
six years earning a PhD in engineering.  This student would owe $68,125
in the cost of loans and an additional $33,028 if the interest is charged.
This 48 percent increase in educational debt would leave the student
owing $101,153 at the start of repayment.  This student's monthly
repayment would increase from $818 to $1,214 as a result of eliminating
the interest exemption.  The extra cost over the life of the loan would
be about $48,000.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?  CALL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS IMMEDIATELY!!!

The Alliance to Save Student Aid, a group of 29 national organizations
representing undergraduate, graduate, and professional education, have
set up the "SAVE STUDENT AID HOTLINE."  By dialing 1-800-574-4AID, you
will be connected with the Washington, DC office of your Member of
Congress.  The first 250 calls are free.  After that, a $3.65 charge
will be billed to your major credit card for each call.

WE ALSO URGE YOU TO WRITE YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS.  A SAMPLE LETTER,
WHICH SHOULD BE ADAPTED TO YOUR OWN PERSONAL AND CAMPUS SITUATION,
FOLLOWS:

The Honorable (name of Representative)
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC  20515

Dear Representative X:

I am a (graduate/law/medical) student at (your institution) and a
registered voter in (your state).  I am active with (your graduate
student government organization) and the National Association of
Graduate-Professional Students (NAGPS).  I am concerned that despite
the obvious benefits of postbaccalaureate education, Congress is
proposing cuts which would result in the largest increase in the
cost of graduate/professional education in history.  Specifically,
Congress is considering eliminating the in-school interest exemption
feature of the federal student loan program.

Eliminating the interest exemption has a greater negative impact on
students the longer they stay in school, and as such most severely
affects graduate and professional-degree-seeking students.  For
example, a student with four years of undergraduate borrowing and two
additional years of borrowing in a MA program would owe an additional
$9,167 to the $34,125 which would be owed under current law (a 27
percent increase).  A borrower with a four year undergraduate degree
who goes on to spend six years earning a Ph.D. in Engineering would
owe an additional $33,028, which would be added to the $68,125 in loan
costs under current law (a 48 percent increase).

Due to the soaring costs of tuition and to reductions in federal, state
and institutional support of post-baccalaureate education, student loans
are becoming more and more important as a means of financing advanced
degrees.  Recent statistics indicate that borrowing among graduate and
professional-degree students has increased by 49 percent since 1992.

Although I wholeheartedly support responsible federal deficit reduction
efforts, cutting aid to graduate and professional students will cost
U.S. taxpayers.  Eliminating the in-school interest exemption would act
as a significant disincentive to individuals who are considering
obtaining advanced degrees.  Statistics prove that graduate/professional
student aid more than pays for itself by stimulating economic growth,
expanding the tax base and increasing productivity.  In order to maintain
its global competitiveness and ensure its long-term economic growth,
America needs to forward, rather than undermine, its investment in
education beyond the baccalaureate.

Sincerely,

(your name)

Subject: Authentic Russian Material
Message-ID: <MON.23.JAN.1995.182708.GMT.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.BITNET>

Dear SEELANGers

To contribute to teaching and research programmes at the University
of Leeds, I am trying to put together a corpus of authentic written and
spoken Russian texts representing a range of different genres.  Can
anyone tell me if they know of (or where I could find out about) any
such corpora which are already in existence?  The genres I am
particularly interested in are:-

1. Student essays from Russian schools/universities
2. Personal/official letters
3. Conversation and other spoken material.

I'd be most interested in machine-readable archives (preferably KOI-8
format), and failing that printed/typed rather than handwritten material.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please respond either to my
e-mail address or to the list.

With many thanks in anticipation

Perhaps the best collection of authentic material is the Uppsala Russian
Corpus, put out by Uppsala Univ. in Sweden, and--last I heard--costs
the equivalent of about USD 600, so it aint cheap.  One person who helped
in its compilation is Prof. George Fowler (gfowler at indiana.edu), I suppose
he could advise you on whether it is what you're after.  He also has a
number of texts of his own which he distributes upon request.  Hope this
helps.  --Loren Billings (billings at princeton.edu)

Greetings!
     Here's a shame-faced request. My wife Maria Pavlovszky is giving a paper
at the International Dostoevskij conference which, I believe, is somewhere
Austria in, probably, August. She got information about registration and
accommodations shortly before Christmas, but we seem to have misplaced it. (Our
fear is that she left it on my desk--a sure-fire way to lose something!--and
I pitched it as unidentifiable or at any rate irrelevant to me. Is
there any kind soul out there who could either fax it to me, or (rather
quickly) photocopy and mail it? She (and I) would be grateful. She really needs
the information asap, as the cost figures into a travel grant proposal due Feb.
1.
     Please query first by Email; there's no reason why I want to solicit
multiple copies.
     Thanks!

Message-ID: <THU.26.JAN.1995.152311.0500.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.BITNET>

Well, our apologies, folks! We tried to simply the process
of making LCEN available to more people, and we only ended
up making things more complicated. So we're going back to
doing things the old way.

LCEN exercises will be available in three formats on two ftp
sites.

The formats are:

xxxxxxxx.WRI for Windows Write users. Treat these as binary
files. At the ftp site give the command "bin" or "i",
whichever works for you, before getting your file. When
downloading to your own PC make sure the setting is binary.

xxxxxxxx.WP5 for WordPerfect DOS users. Again binary
downloads everywhere. See the paragraph above.

xxxxxxxx.MAC for Macintosh users *or* for Windows users with
Word, WordPerfect, or any other program capable of reading
RTF files. Treat these as ASCII or "text" files. Use NO
binary downloads.

Russian DOS and Windows users! You cannot use the Mac files,
even if you can read RTF documents. The Cyrillic will be all
messed up. You'll have to deal with binary downloads.

The anonymous FTP sites are:

gwuvm.gwu.edu
(no subdirectories)

ftp.dartmouth.edu
You must change directories. Give the command:
cd pub/IALL-LLTI/LCEN

More detailed instructions are available at our World Wide
Web site:

http://gwis.circ.gwu.edu/~slavic/lcen.html

I apologize for all the inconvenience people have had so far
with this month's exercises. The most trouble has come from
the Russian exercises, which have already been re-posted. We
will eventually re-post the other exercises already up
there.

Sincerely, Rich Robin

        Check the quarterly publication Data Sources - the main listing
for the computer industry - see software volume - look under for. languages.
When I wanted to help some Russian friends find cheap software for writing
Cyrillic, I looked there - and all the software listed under russian was
for LEARNING Russian, not WRITING Russian - so same may apply for Czech.

Hello, I am a graduate student at SIPA/Columbia University in New York,
specializing in East/Central Europe; my personal interest is Hungary.  I
am presently working on a paper for a course dealing with the economic
restructuring in the region, and would like to ask for assistance in
finding information and data.

The paper will deal with the effects of changing government subsidy
policy on the retail market; my specific example, if I can find enough
information, will be BOOK PUBLISHING AND RETAILING.  I am looking for
data on:

                :the subsidization of book publishing under the former
                regime (which books were subsidized?  how much?);
                :sales figures for the pre- and post-subsidization periods;
                :data on consumer prices;
                :data on the number of bookstores (openings, closings,
                reopenings under private management, etc.), as well as
                figures or anecdotal information on the street sales of books;
                :narrative and anecdotal information on the amount,
                quality, kind of books sold, and the conditions under which
                books were/are sold
                :information or speculation (preferably published in
                journals, newspapers, or scholarly reports) on the effect the
                loss of subsidies and opening up of the market has had on
                the literary scene.

I need to have hard data to make my case, but I am really most interested
in the less quantifiable questions of the overall effects of the valtozas
on the literary scene and on public feeling about books -- economic
transition as it affects the perceived experience of people, so to
speak.  Beszelek magyarul, tehat magyar nyelvu informaciot, cikkeket is

Subject: One paper in search of a panel (AAASS, Nov. 1995)
Message-ID: <TUE.31.JAN.1995.145434.EST.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.BITNET>

Pardon the following neskromnyi vopros, but just in case...

   Is anybody organizing a panel for AAASS in Washington that
still might have room for a paper on Griboedov?
The paper is called "Is Moscow Burning: Fire in Griboedov's Gore ot uma."
Paper description follows:

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------


     In Griboedov's comedy "Gore ot uma" ( Woe from Wit", 1823-28) imagery of
fire plays a central structural role. In the play, fire is polysemous,
summarizing the essential themes of the play on a number of different levels.
>>From the names of major characters (including the protagonist--whose name was
originally CHADskii, coming from the word for "fumes" or "smoke"--and
ZAGORETskii /from "zagoret'sia": to catch fire/) to the frequent images of
fire, flame, fumes, and smoke, the idea is implicit in the play that Moscow
is "burning". In this article, I shall contend that fire imagery provided a
fitting frame for the period about which Griboedov was writing, beginning with
the 1812 burning of Moscow to save the city from Napoleon and ending just
before the sparks" of the Decembrists and the attempts to extinguish
them by what Nikolai Turgenev called the "gasil'niki" (the "extinguishers").

     The article will show how the structure of "Gore ot uma" is to a great
extent based on a punning interplay between words formed from two
similar-sounding roots--GORET'/"to burn" and GORE/"woe"--and on their
interaction with words formed from the root "UM" ( mind"/"wit"). Thus the
structure of "Gore ot uma" is, in effect, defined by its title, focusing on
ways that the "intelligent" ("UM-nyi") Chatskii receives "woe" ("GORE ) as a
result of his "wit" ("UM") from a Moscow society that is "burning" (GORIT)
with stupidity and prejudice and that tries to extinguish all intellectual and
emotional "ardor" ("pylkost'":etymologically "burning").

     The article will deal with several layers of fire imagery: the fire of
passion (Chatskii); images of a "burning city" in the play; and the
"fire" of secret societies.  As I shall show, the tension between the
fire of 1812 (which , as Griboedov shows,
led to a "rebuilding" of Moscow only on the surface) and the contemporary fire
of secret societies motivates much of the action of Griboedov's
comedy. Indeed, the play advocates a purgative fire that will eliminate old
prejudices and "enlighten" Russia, unlike the fire of 1812, which produced a
rebuilt Moscow where "the houses are new, but the prejudices old".

I would love to have info on this film too.  I tried locating it several
years ago--unsuccessfully.  Frank Sciacca

It was filmed in 1973, produced by the Visual Anthropology Unit, Canadian
Centre for FOlk CUlture STudies, National Museum of Man, now renamed
Canadian Museum of CIvilization.  "The action is filmed around Desjarlais
(near Willingdon, ALberta)"
