Czech and Bulgarian Language Offerings

[DDyer]

Dear LIST:

   Although it does not give information concerning level of instruction
or consistency of offering, the <Directory of Programs in Linguistics in the
United States & Canada>, 1994, LSA, Washington, D.C. (1995 edition), lists
the following university offerings in its section, "Uncommonly Taught
Languages": CZECH: Boston C, Brown, UCB, UCLA, UCSD, Chicago, Cornell, George
Washington U, Harvard, IN U, U KS, U MI, U NC, Northwestern, OH SU, U PA,
Stanford, U TX-Austin, Toronto, U VA, U WA, U WI-Madison and Yale. BULGARIAN:
Boston C, Brown, UCSD, Chicago, Cornell, George Washington U. IN U, U KS,
U MS, U NC, OH SU, U PA, SUNY-Albany, U VA, U WA, U WI-Madison.
   Obviously this listing is not exhaustive, but it's worth looking at.
No mention is made either of summer school courses. Some of these schools
may no longer offer the languages, simply choosing not to delete their
offerings from the publication. I offer Bulgarian here at The University of
Mississippi maybe every three years or so, and then only as a "structure"
course. A number of those who responded to SEELANGS saying that they offer
these course are indeed listed, but as you can see, others on the list
have not responded.
