New materials posted to AATSEEL WWW page

[George Fowler]

Greetings!

I have opened my section of the AATSEEL www page, devoted to dissertations
in AATSEEL fields. For the time being, I have posted incomplete abstracts
from 1993-1995, plus a few others. They are organized into four categories:

1. Linguistics (75 abstracts)
2. Literature (181)
3. Language Teaching (4)
4. Other (folklore, music, theology...) (13)

(The total number of abstracts is slightly less than the total of the four
categories, as a few dissertations are cross-listed.)

This is very much a service in progress, and I will add to it as time
permits (and time isn't being very lenient at the moment). I would
appreciate hearing from people who find it useful; and if you notice any
errors (especially out-of-date addresses) I would like to know.

Frankly, I was amazed at the large number of abstracts, both from Slavic
departments proper and from other related fields (chiefly Comp Lit and
Linguistics)--and I have not yet finished searching these three years. Upon
looking up email/snail mail addresses for the authors, I was also quite
pleased to see how many of them are still active; I expected a higher
percentage of untraceable authors.

I would also appreciate learning about dissertations in progress. There is
probably no point in posting abstracts, but author/title/email
link/estimated date of completion would be welcome.

Finally, if anyone compiled a relatively exhaustive bibliography on a
particular subject in connection with a dissertation
(author/work/linguistic question/whatever), or for any other reason, and
would be willing to share it, you might get in touch with George Mitrevski,
the webmaster, or myself, and we can arrange to post it to the web. This is
a great way to help your colleagues and students in the field!
