Mr. Devine,
I, for one, am glad you "mispost" your message. Although I am in another field,
I subscribe to this list partly to learn about how professionals in this field
do their work, solve problems, etcetera, as well as teach and conduct research.
If I'm not interested in a message, I simply delete it and move on to the next.
Since SEELANGS is not nearly as busy a list as some others, a message like
yours is hardly an annoyance or waste of cyberspace or time.  Furthermore,
while I am not a professional in Slavic studies, I have friends and colleagues
who are, one in particular who doesn't subscribe to SEELANGS as well as the
chair of the Foreign Language Dept, whom I periodically forward messages of
interest or use to them. thanks again for your "mispost."  Kevin

Dear CIVSOC & SEELANGS list members:

This message was sent to me regarding jobs in Poland. While I'm familiar
with jobs that require a background in Russian, I really don't know what
exists "out there" for speakers of Polish.  I thought the members of these
lists might have some expertise in this area that they could share with
this person.  Please direct all messages to the email address listed
below, not to mine.  Unless, of course, others on the lists might be
interested as well.

Sincerely,

Subject: (Fwd) Krasnogorov's The Dog -- Where and When
Message-ID: <SUN.1.FEB.1998.205237.600.>

Dear Colleagues:

[This is the second and final announcement concerning the American
premiere of The Dog. The particulars concerning the performance,
schedules, etc. have been unavailable to me until late Sunday night].

May I invite those of you who will be in New York City next week to
attend the American premiere of THE DOG, a contemporary Russian
tragedy by Valentin Krasnogorov (a.k.a. Valentin Fainberg) at the
Nada Theater on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

For the record, Krasnogorov's The Dog is being produced by the Nada
Theater on a strictly non-commercial or not-for-profit basis. This
was the precondition for waiving all royalties, both on my part as
translator and on the part of the playwright.

DIRECTOR: Howard Fishman.

PERFORMANCE DATES: This week on Mon, Feb. 2 (premiere), Tue 3, Wed 4.
Next week on Mon 9, Tue 10, Wed 11.

WHERE: Nada Theater at 167 Ludlow St. on the Lower East Side of
Manhattan.

TIME: 8 P.M.

NOTE: SEELANGS POLICY DOES NOT PERMIT QUOTING OF ADMISSION PRICES.
For reservations, please call Nada (also known as Todoconnada) at:

1-212-420-1466

You'll find full instructions on how to get to the Nada Theater in
the "Where" section (left panel) of their web site at:

http://www.todoconnada.com/index.html

You'll also find full particulars about the play under "Shows".

THE DOG, in two acts, has been widely performed throughout Russia
and the former Soviet Union for the past ten years.

The play consists of only three characters: A Man, A Woman, and A Dog
(played by a little girl or a woman). The play is set at a Russian
Animal Clinic.

FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT ON THE OCCASION OF THE AMERICAN PREMIERE:

"The Dog has been seen by many Russian theater-goers through the
years, and it has never failed to elicit both laughter and tears,
compassion and empathy.

"Now, through the unselfish efforts of The Nada Theater of New York
City, The Dog will appear for the very first time on the American
stage.

"Although our countries are separated by thousands of miles, I do not
believe that people on different continents think and feel
differently.

"Love is everywhere the same. So is betrayal. False ways never lead
to happiness.

"I would like to believe that in America, as in Russia, The Dog will
lead many spectators to seriously reflect on how and why we live.

"The guiding principle for the heroine of this play is not success
but love. And if the American theater-goer comes to love her, I would
consider the performance a great success."

Respectfully yours,

Valentin Krasnogorov.
Haifa, Israel.
January 24, 1998

Yours,

Benjamin

Dear colleagues,

Apologies for cross postings....

Our university is looking at the possibility of purchasing CD-ROM
dictionaries for Russian, Czech and Polish.  (Specifically these would
be translating dictionaries of use to students at various levels, from
beginners to advanced.)  Has anyone out there had experiences with
using and/or purchasing these dictionaries?  I'm interested in your
opinions of specific products, as well as recommendations for
inexpensive and reliable dealers in the UK or the rest of Europe.

Please respond off-list to me at

n.bermel at sheffield.ac.uk

I will post a summary of responses to the list.

Ne govorja uzh o suprematistskoj keramike, kotoraja bezuslovno est' v
russkoj kul'ture, no tozhe  ne imeet otnoshenija k nastojashchemu
voprosu, polchashki javljaetsja abstraktnym sushchestvitel'nym tol'ko
esli vosprinimaetsja kak edinica mery, v otvlechennom smysle.  A
polchashki chego-to, tak zhe kak i polkilo chego-to, sushchestvuet v
real'nom mire.  Poetomu vpolne mozhno skazat', napr.,

Ja ej nalil polchashki chaju, no iz etoj poluchashki ona vypila
lish' glotochek.

Tut imenno prikhoditsja govorit' o soglasovanii, poskol'ku
mestoimenie vse-taki s chem-to soglasuetsja.  Javno ne imeem delo s
narechiem, tak kak narechie otvechaet na vopros "kak?", a ne
"skol'ko?".  Putanica voznikaet ottogo, chto est' slova, kotorye
otvechajut na vopros "skol'ko?" a v drugikh kontekstakh dejstvitel'no
vystupajut kak narechija, no eto ukazyvaet tol'ko na
polifunkcional'nost' dannykh slov.  Tak, naprimer, mozhno skazat'

On mnogo kurit.
i
U nego mnogo sigaret.

I mozhno skazat':

On postojanno kurit
i
U nego desjat' sigaret.

No nel'zja skazat':

*On desjat' kurit (esli ne porazumevaetsja im. sushch. - no eto
sovershenno drugoe sintaksicheskoe otnoshenie)
ili
*U nego postojanno sigaret.

Jasno, chto v pervom sluchaje -- narechie, a vo vtorom -- chislitel'noe (puskaj
neopredelennoe).

Takim putem podkhodim k idee, daleko ne novoj, chto element "pol",
mozhet byt', sledujet schitat' chislitel'nym.  Vo mnogom eto
privlekatel'naja ideja, osobenno esli sravnivat' soglasovanie s nim
s soglasovaniem s drugimi, nesomnennymi chislitel'nymi.  Takim
obrazom

polzdanija obrushilos'

sootvetstvuet

desjat' zdanij obrushilos'.

Trudnee obstoit delo s frazami

iz etoj poluchashki,
celye polchashki,

no i oni imejut svoi parallely:

iz etikh dvukh chashek
celye dve chashki.

(V konce koncov, vozmozhno libo edinstvennoe, libo mnozhestvennoe
chislo, v pervom sluchae objazatel'no kakogo-to roda.)

Sovershenno neumestny v etom razgovore vsjakie polushubki i
polukaftany, tak kak polushubok ne otnositsja k dannoj kategorii slov
ni grammaticheski (sovsem obychnoe im. sushch. na soglasnom) ni
semanticheski (oboznachaet celyj predmet, a ne chast' ego).
Polumesjac ved' ne to zhe samoe, chto polmesjaca.

Just wanted to pass the word that a few more jobs have been added to the
AATSEEL Jobs Index.  Including a few positions w/CIEE doing residency work
in Russia (great experience for those who want to spend some time in
Russia to work on language skills!) (wish *I* had the time to apply for
this summer!).

Also, I added a few links to CIEE's page (where they list their own job
opps) as well as the CCSI page.  CCSI has an extensive list of job
opportunities (and grants, for that matter).  Something all job hunters
should check out.

Finally, if anyone knows of other important links that I can add to this

Pass the word along!

On behalf of my colleagues with whom I serve on the MLA  Divisional
Committee on Applied Linguistics, I bring you the following call for papers.
Please note that the MLA Convention is held in conjunction with the AATSEEL
Conference, both in San Francisco in late December 1998.

Ben Rifkin

********************************************************************

CALL FOR PAPERS  (Deadline: March 2, 1998)


MODERN LANGUAGE ASSOCIATION 1998 CONVENTION
DIVISION ON APPLIED LINGUISTICS
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
27-30 DECEMBER 1998


The Division on Applied Linguistics is sponsoring three separate sessions.

Session 1: Second Language Fluency: Definitions and Issues

definition, measurement and acquisition is rare.  This session explores
both theoretical issues and research on L2 fluency in speech, reading or
writing.

Session 2: Technology in Second Language Learning: What Does Research Tell Us?

This session explores the consequences of using computer technology in
language instruction.  Papers should report on original research or make
connections between research, theory, and teaching practice.

Session 3: Emotion and Language: Implications for Language Learning

This session presents recent research on the relationship between affect
and language learning.  Papers should report on original research or make
connections between research, theory, and teaching practice.

One-page blind abstracts accompanied by a card with the presenter's name,
address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address should be sent to:

                Richard Kern

Dear SEELANGers,

I am a graduate student in Georgetown's Russian area studies program and
am looking into pursuing a career in library/information sciences
generally, and possibly archiving and preservation, specifically.

Does anyone know if there are such non-Russian (in nationality) creatures
who work mainly with Russian sources in the broad area of "information
sciences"?  Any info, anecdotal or otherwise, would be most appreciated.
I would like to stress I am not looking to land a job at this point, but
simply trying to get an idea of what's out there.

Further, since I strongly suspect I will be in for more schooling if I go
this route, any info on library/information science programs with a
cross-cultural component would be of interest too.  (I am, of course,
also checking out the great resources the Washington area has to offer,
such as the National Archives, Smithsonian, Library of Congress, etc.)

Thanks!

Ann Otto

Ukrainian Futurism, 1914­1930: A Historical and Critical Study
Oleh S. Ilnytzkyj

>>From its inception just before WWI to its demise during the turmoil of the
Soviet 1930s, Ukrainian Futurism remained little studied and much
misunderstood. It has remained so in the late 20th century. Professor Oleh
Ilnytzkyj¹s study of the Futurists and their leader Mykhail' Semenko
addresses this problem, providing the first major monograph on this vibrant
literary movement. The study includes histories of Futurism and other major
Ukrainian literary movements and analyses of the major figures of the
movement and their works, focusing first and foremost on Semenko himself.
Color and black and white illustrations, as well as special typography show
the important link between the written and visual media. As well, Ilnytzkyj
discusses the interaction of the Futurists with such important film and
theater figures as Oleksandr Dovzhenko and Les' Kurbas.

Ukrainian Futurism will be of great value to all those interested in
twentieth-century Central and East European culture.

Oleh Ilnytzkyj is Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and
Literatures at the University of Alberta. He received his Ph.D. in Slavic
Languages and Literatures from Harvard University and is the author of
numerous works on twentieth-century Ukrainian literature.

Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute

June 22-August 14, 1998


The Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute is a rigorous eight-week academic
program offering accredited university instruction in Ukrainian studies. The
program is organized by the Harvard University Summer School and the
Ukrainian Research Institute. In previous years participants have included
undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals who have come from
North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, including Ukraine.


The Program

The only program of its kind in North America, the Harvard Ukrainian Summer
Institute offers eight weeks of intensive accredited university instruction
in Ukrainian studies. The program is run jointly by the Harvard Summer
School and the Ukrainian Research Institute and has been in existence for
over 25 years. Students are encouraged to take advantage of Harvard's many
research and instructional facilities, including the largest Ukrainian
library collection outside of Eastern Europe, museums, and language
laboratory.

Intensive Ukrainian language teaching is a central focus of the Harvard
Ukrainian Summer Institute. Instruction is proficiency-based and aimed at
developing reading, writing, speaking, and aural comprehension skills. An
entry test determines placement in each course and proficiency testing will
be a component of the final exam. An extensive video library of over 100
films, satellite access to Ukrainian news and other TV programs, regular
language tables, and other activities supplement classroom instruction.
Every year students from Ukraine attend the program, giving their North
American counterparts the opportunity to interact with native speakers in a
near-immersion environment.


UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE COURSES


Beginning Ukrainian (8 units)

Natalia Shostak, PhD Candidate, Department of Modern Languages and
        Comparative Studies, University of Alberta

Intensive course for students with little or no knowledge of the language.
Elementary grammatical structures will be presented through an active oral
approach. Reading and discussion of simple texts along with written
exercises complement the acquisition of oral-aural skills.

Intermediate Ukrainian (8 units)

Yuri I. Shevchuk, PhD Candidate, Department of Political Science, New School
        for Social Research

An intensive review of basic structures is followed by expansion of these
grammar fundamentals. Emphasis will be on oral communication using basic
conversational patterns. Mastery of basic grammatical structures will be
reinforced through written drills. Major emphasis will be placed on
the development of vocabulary, with readings and videotaped programs
focusing on contemporary cultural and political issues. Brief compositions
will be assigned on a regular basis.

Advanced Ukrainian for Business (8 units)

Vera Andrushkiw, Director and Language Coordinator, Harvard Ukrainian
        Summer Institute

This is an intensive course for students who wish to develop their mastery
of the language. Reading selections include annotated articles on
contemporary issues in business economics, politics, and culture. Short
written reports and oral presentations will be part of the course. Classes
will be conducted largely in Ukrainian.


LITERATURE, HISTORY, & POLITICS


Twentieth-Century Ukrainian Literature: Tradition, Social Action, and the Avant
Garde (4 units)

George G. Grabowicz, Dmytro Cyzevs'kyj Professor of Ukrainian Literature,
        Harvard University

The course surveys the major writers and works of twentieth-century
Ukrainian literature with a special focus on the tension between tradition
and innovation, the popular (and populist) frame and the revolt of the
aesthetic and ideological avant garde, the imposition of ideological and
totalitarian strictures, and the various strategies of survival and
response. Topics will include the Revolution, socialist realism, internal
and external emigration, dissent, dissimulation and collaboration, the
variants of "underground literature," and the problem of modernism and
postmodernism. A reading knowledge of Ukrainian desirable, but not required.


Social History of Modern Ukraine, 1770-1945 (4 units)

Christine Worobec, Associate Professor, Department of History, Kent State
        University

This course will survey a variety of issues in modern Ukrainian history
since the late eighteenth century with special emphasis on the experiences
of the overwhelming majority of the population, the voiceless peasants.
Whenever possible, gender and ethnic minority issues will be raised and
comparative perspectives provided. Some of the themes to be explored
include peasant daily life and world view, peasants' interaction with
government officials and members of the Ukrainian intelligentsia and
clergy, peasants'adaptation and resistance to modernization and government
policies, women's roles at all levels of Ukrainian society, and differing
responses to nationalism. Historiographical issues will be introduced as
well. The course will end with the impact of World War II on Ukrainian
society.


Contemporary Ukraine: Dynamics of Political Transformation (4 units)

Taras Kuzio, Research Fellow, Centre for Russian and East European Studies,
        University of Birmingham, UK

This course will analyze the transformation of post-Soviet Ukraine using a
paradigm of a four-pronged, interconnected process of transition. These
four processes are political reform (from totalitarianism to democracy),
economic transition (from a command administrative system to a market
economy), state institution construction (including the emerging
multi-party system and the elections of March 1998), and nation building
(including questions of national identity, language, regionalism, and
inter-ethnic relations). In general, the course will address the impact of
inherited legacies upon the formation of a modern, civic nation and survey
the debates and options available to Ukraine.


Ukrainian Politics in Comparative Perspective (4 units)

Taras Kuzio, Research Fellow, Centre for Russian and East European Studies,
        University of Birmingham, UK

This seminar will focus upon five aspects of post-Soviet political
transformation in Ukraine from a theoretical, analytical, and
cross-national comparative perspective. In all five themes students will be
provided with surveys of the published research in these fields of inquiry
and tasked to debate the emerging different viewpoints. These five themes
are: state and institution building; nation formation; cultural and social
cleavages -- regionalism, inter-ethnic relations, an assessment of the
strength of separatism and the popularity of federalism; the role of
elites; and mass politics -- the emerging multi-party system, elections and
voter behavior, and the creation of a civil society. Open to undergraduates
by permission only.


Special Events

A full calendar of special events supplements the academic offerings of the
Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute. The program for 1998 will include a
lecture series by prominent faculty and guests, round table discussions on
current Ukrainian affairs, a theater and music program, literary readings,
contemporary films, and excursions to Boston attractions and local beaches.


Fees & Financial Aid

The Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute offers a reduced tuition of $2,000
for eight units of credit (full tuition through the Harvard Summer School
in 1998 is $3,160). Students with demonstrated financial need may qualify
for fee reductions but must apply by April 15, 1998 for consideration.
Graduate students are urged to apply for summer FLAS (Foreign Language Area
Studies) funding through their home institution.

Students accepted into the program must register for a minimum of eight
credit units and will be required either to provide proof that they have
health insurance from a US insurer or to purchase coverage from the Harvard
Summer School.


Housing

Students who wish to live on campus may apply for dormitory housing through
the Harvard Summer School. Room and board for eight weeks is $2,640. Those
wishing to live off campus will have access to listings at the Harvard
Housing Office to assist them in their search.


Admission Policy

Applicants must be at least 19 years of age or have completed one year of
college to be admitted to the program. Admission is based on the
applicant's academic record, a letter of recommendation, and an essay. The
application deadline is *June 1, 1998*.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON LIBRARIES

POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
SLAVIC OR AFRICAN STUDIES RESEARCH LIBRARIAN
1998-99

PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION
Indiana University Bloomington Libraries are pleased to announce an
academic-year post-doctoral fellowship program for the training of a
Slavic or an African studies research librarian.  The program is
supported by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and offers
one nine-month fellowship (non-renewable) to a recent Ph.D., in any
field specializing in either Slavic or African studies, who wishes to
pursue a career as a Slavic or an African library specialist.  The
program is affiliated with Indiana University's Library along with its
Russian and East European Institute and African Studies Program, U.S.
Department of Education, Title VI National Resource Centers.

Under the guidance of experienced librarians on the Bloomington
campus, each fellow will participate in an apprenticeship, gaining
knowledge of collection development and public services work.  In
addition to developing a familiarity with research libraries' internal
operations, the fellow will focus on collection development in a
particular field of either Slavic or African studies (depending on
their academic background) and on specialized reference for that
field; participate in the activities of the academic program in Slavic
or African studies; audit selected relevant courses at the School of
Library and Information Science; visit libraries with significant
collections in either Slavic of African studies, such as the Library
of Congress and the Center for Research Libraries (Chicago); and
prepare a paper for possible presentation at the annual meeting of the
relevant area studies association.

One fellow will be selected in 1998-99 in either Slavic or African
studies, contingent on the strength of the applicant pool.  A similar
fellowship program is anticipated to fund one fellow in the alternate
field in 1999-2000 and 2000-01.

QUALIFICATIONS
A recent Ph.D. in a field specializing in either Slavic or African
studies is required, along with working knowledge in one of the
vernacular languages.  Demonstrated ability to work effectively with
the wider academic community and strong written and oral communication
skills. Evidence of interdisciplinary course work is desirable as well
as prior experience working in a research library or knowledge of
scholarly publishing and the booktrade.  Preference will be given to
those candidates who, either in graduate school or during employment
as assistant professors, have developed a clear affinity for this
alternative career path.

SALARY AND BENEFITS
The fellowship for 1998-99 is $26,500 (nine months).  Indiana
University offers a benefits package that includes medical and life
insurance, a retirement plan, sick leave, and 9 holidays annually.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Candidates should submit a letter describing their training,
experience, and interest, along with a resume and the names of three
references to Lila Fredenburg, Indiana University, Library Human
Resources Office, 1320 East Tenth Street, Rm C-201, Bloomington,
Indiana 47405-1801.  Review of applications will begin March 31.  The
beginning date of the fellowship is flexible, but anticipated to be
around September 1.  Final candidates will be invited to interview on
the Bloomington campus in the spring.

Indiana University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer.

I remember owning a big volume entitled "Chastotnyi slovar' russkogo
yazyka" published probably in late 80's. I think it was edited by
Karaulov, but I am not sure. I think at that time Institut Russkogo
Yazyka had a group of people working on "frequency dictionaries."

Dear SEELANGers,

I appreciate your comments both posted on a list and received privately,
especially by Ralph Cleminson, Ahti Nikunlassi, Michael Betsch, Irena
Ustinova, and Loren Billings. I'm really sorry that my question gave rise
to lecturing by Jurij Lotoshko.
I'm afraid nothing can be done about it :)

Meanwhile I've got several invaluable inputs about approximative inversion
in Russian (posted on the list January 5).

Igor' Boguslavsky wrote:

I asked him for examples and references but didn't get it yet. If it's
true, it's too bad for an observational generalization that the
approximative inversion construction emerged at the same time as numerals
in East Slavic ( I mean numerals as a separate word class).

However, I've received two very interesting examples witnessing to the
opposite:

1. ("Ralph Cleminson" <Cleminso at CEU.HU> )

>However, one example for you, from Stefanit" i Ikhnilat":
>
>zatvoren" byst' v temnici dnij sedm'
>(BUT do sedm' dnij in two late (17th-c.) Russian MSS)

2. (Lotoshko's dissertation, I'm thankful to him for sending it to me.
Unfortunately, all the citations from Old Russian documents in his diss.
are given in the Modern Russian orthography)

So, the question is still open and I'd be immeasurably happy if you can
provide me with any clue, any source for information, or any examples.

Best,
Michael

TRANSPORTATION FROM AIRPORTS:
By Taxi:
The easiest way to reach Columbia University from the airport is by taxi.
The average rate from LaGuardia Airport, the closest airport to the campus,
is $25.00.  This includes tolls and tips.  Kennedy Airport is about twice
as far from the campus, and the price is about $40.00.  Taxi from Newark
Airport into Manhattan is available at a cost of approximately $50.00.
Bus Service into Manhattan:
>>From LaGuardia and Kennedy Airports:
Carey Bus Company (718-632-0506) provides bus service from both LaGuardia
and Kennedy Airports to Park Avenue and 42nd Street near Grand Central
Station and to the Port Authority Bus Terminal.  The trip from LaGuardia
takes from 35-55 minutes and costs $9.00.  It takes 45-65 minutes from
Kennedy at a cost of $13.00.  Once at the bus terminal, it is necessary to
take a taxi or subway to get to Columbia.
>>From Newark Airport:
New Jersey Transit (201-460-8444) provides frequent bus service from all
three terminals of the Newark Airport to the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
The trip takes approximately 30 minutes and costs $7.00 per person.  Once
at the terminal take a taxi or subway to the campus.

TRANSPORTATION WITHIN MANHATTAN:
By Subway:
The Columbia University station of the IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit)
subway is located at West 116th Street and Broadway.  The Broadway-Seventh
Avenue IRT Line has a stop at Pennsylvania Station (34th Street) and the
Port Authority (42nd Street).  From Grand Central Station shuttle subway
service is available to Times Square where it is possible to transfer to
the IRT #1 or #9 train.  Only the IRT #1 or #9 Local subway train stops at
Columbia University.  The Express train (IRT #2 or #3) stops at the 96th
Street station (96th St. & Broadway) where it is necessary to cross the
platform and board the local train.
By Bus:
The campus can also be reached by city buses; however, bus service is
considerably slower.  Cross town buses connect with the IRT #1 train
stations on Broadway or Seventh Avenue.  The M104, M4, M5, and M11 buses
all stop within a block of the campus.

Message-ID: <WED.4.FEB.1998.130159.0500.>

I have three rather dated Russian computer programs available for free
download. SOme of your students may find them useful. All three are for the Mac.

1. "Russian HyperTutor"

Russian HyperTutor  (RHT) is a Russian tutorial program based on the textbook
Russian for Everybody. Each lesson in RHT corresponds to the same lesson in
Russian for Everybody. RHT was designed to provide the student with easy to
understand explanations of the grammar, and a multitude of exercises to check
comprehension.

2. "Russian Review Grammar"

Russian Review Grammar is a HyperCard tutorial program that provides easy to
understand review of the basics of Russian grammar, and a multitude of grammar
drills to check comprehension. Its dynamic structurre allows the instructor to
edit and supplement the tutorial text with his or her own material.

The program is designed for courses where the phocus is on conversation and
practical usage of the language, and where students need quick, out of class
review of grammar.

3. "Russian HyperFace"

Russian HyperFace is a Russian tutorial program based on the textbook "Russian
Face to Face". Each lesson in Russian HyperFace corresponds to the same lesson
in "Russian Face to Face". The program is designed to provide the student with
easy to understand explanations of the grammar, and a multitude of exercises
to check comprehension.

All three are available from here:

The Norwich Russian School announces its Fortieth Summer Session!

Earlier rumors of our demise, to paraphrase Mark Twain, were greatly
exaggerated.

For more information visit us on the Web at www.norwich.edu (we are
listed under the graduate program), or write us at Norwich University
Russian School, Northfield VT 05663.

In Vermont since its founding in 1958, the Russian School will celebrate
its fortieth session this summer.  As it has for decades, the Russian
School will be in the beautiful Green Mountains along the Dog River just
south of Montpelier on the Northfield Campus of Norwich University.

The program will include beginner through advanced Russian and Czech,
Russian graduate courses, as well as both two and three week programs in
Russian.

Norwich's tradition of exceptional cultural and extra-curricular
activities will continue under the award winning leadership of Muscovites
Sergei Grigoriev and Nina Savitskaya.  Both worked with the famous Dmitri
Pokrovsky ensemble for many years.  Nina was choral director for the 1995
Pokrovsky production of Stravinsky's "Folk Wedding" and vocal coach and
director for the popular Russian rock group "Na-Na".  Sergei's work
includes the nightly program "Spokoinoj Nochi Malyshi!" ("Good Night,
Kids!") which received the 1996 TEFFI prize from the Russian Academy of
Television for best children's program, and he is part of the team that
puts on the award winning weekly political satire program "Kukly"
("Puppets"), awarded the 1995 TEFFI prize "Program Sensation of the Year".

An Alumni Weekend is being planned for the weekend of the Annual Slavic
Festival, July 24th-26th.  If you would like to join us in celebrating 40
wonderful years, and even more to come, please contact us at the Russian
School.

We would like to also thank everyone who gave us support during our "Time
of Troubles".  You really made a difference, and we are very grateful for
your support.

Subject: Dmitriev
Message-ID: <THU.5.FEB.1998.101510.0100.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

One chapter of my book on Russian Autobiographies deals with I.I.
Dmitriev's "Vzglyad na moyu zhizn'" from the late 1820ies. It is a
rather typical description of Dmitrievs political carreer, written in
a very dry tone.
Dmitriev does not tell a word about his private life - which
completely fits into the context of the 18th century but not into the
context of Russian Romanticism: Zhukovsky and Vyazemskij complained
about the "officiality" of Dmitrievs autobiography.
I found a possible explanation for Dmitrievs reluctance to describe
his private life: Simon Karlinsky gives in several articles the
information, that Dmitriev was homosexual.
The problem now is to find out whether Dmitriev's "official"
autobiography is in fact a camouflage of his problematic private life.
The ambivalence goes even further: Is homosexuality in the context of
the early 19th century a scandal or is it just a non-event, a kind of
don't ask-don't tell taboo?
Does anybody know any biographical facts from Dmitriev's life which
could explain his situation? How was the legal situation? How was
homosexuality perceived in society - if at all?

Dear Professor Schmid

I don't know enough about the situation to comment directly on the
perceptions/legality of homosexuality in this period.  I thought, however,
you might care to look at a recent book, namely, Wendy Rosslyn's 'Anna
Bunina (1774-1829) & the Origins of Women's Poetry in Russia' (Edwin
Mellen, 1997) in which she discusses the relationship between Bunina &
Dmitriev.  See especially pp. 63-67 where Rosslyn discusses the rumours in
St P c. 1804 that Bunina & Dmitriev might marry.

Stephanie Sandler's 'Distant Pleasures' also has interesting things to say
about male friendships in roughly this period, as, of course, does Simon
Karlinsky in his book on Gogol, with which I'm sure you're already
familiar.

All good wishes


Joe Andrew

Yes, he does, despite there is no clear evidence of Dmitriev's sexual
orientation.
It is rather a question of prof. Karlinsky's approach than fact of Ivan
Ivanych's intimate biography, I guess.

Message-ID: <THU.5.FEB.1998.133309.EST.>

I  have been informed that Zalizniak's "backwards" dictionary can
be found in computerized form.  Apparently it is part of a software package
called "Russkij filolog". This software also contains several other Russian
dictionaries
(general monolingual one-volume Ozhegov's dictionary, for example).

Can anyone refer me to a source where I can get this software package,
or to a source where I can get a computerized version of Zalizniak's dictionary
without the other dictionaries?

Thank you very much,

I can't help with a source for Russkij Filolog, but I can add that it's an
integrated package and does not provide easy access to the raw data.
Meanwhile, there is a plain text version of Zaliznjak's dictionary that
was prepared by David Hart <HARTD at jkhbhrc.byu.edu>, and that is
distributed by him; this version does not have the Russkij Filolog
interface. Which you want depends on your needs.

Cheers,

David

Message-ID: <SAT.7.FEB.1998.142959.0100.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

Hello,

a month ago I lanced a request concerning the terminological "distribution"
of the attribute SLAVIC vs. SLAVONIC in the Anglosaxon world. I apologize
for not having delivered the short summary I promised to write. "Chelovek
predpolagaet, a Bog raspolagaet..." - a serious influenca and the
termination of the semester at our university are my only justification for
this delay.
        As for the above question, I have got the general impression that
indeed 'Slavic' is American and 'Slavonic' British tradition (including the
"dominions" Canada and Australia/New Zealand). Almost everybody who answered
my request, in one way or other hinted at that. The same holds for people as
you and me, i.e. 'Slavists' (AE) and 'Slavicists' (BE), respectively.
        But there seem to be exceptions; cf.:
>_Slavonic_ is generally used in Britain, while _Slavic_ is used in America.
>(One notable exception:  OCS is generally Old Church _Slavonic_ in the
>States.  A word in Russian that is not E.Sl., but from liturgical, S.Sl.
>influence, is called a _Slavonicism_ in the United States.)
[from L.Billings]

See also:
> (...) Also, within the USA, "Slavonic" seems to be
>used when people (especially people who know more about Slavic languages
>and literatures than your average educated American!) want to sound archaic
>or arcane -- so you'll hear "Old Church Slavonic" much more often than,
>say, "the Slavonic languages."
[S.Forester]

        Thanks for your replies!
Bjoern Wiemer.

From: Bjoern.Wiemer at uni-konstanz.de (Bjoern Wiemer)

Subject: clitic and orthotonic personal pronouns
Message-ID: <SAT.7.FEB.1998.163412.0100.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

I have a question to those who are familiar with the diachronic development
of personal and reflexive pronouns in Slavonic languages:
        For the historically tesfifiable development of pronouns in the IE
languages it is normally assumed that the clitic forms arose out of "long"
ones, i.e. those that are put under stress, after prepositions,
sentence-initially etc.. E.g. Latin 'se' became a clitic, and only in some
cases it was reinforced, e.g. to 'sesez' in Surselvan (Raetoromanic). In
other cases a form that could be used both clitically or orthotonically, as
e.g. the ancestor of Scandinavian 'sig' (or 'sik'?), developed into a
postposed clitic from the unstressed variant. This, in turn, got wholly
affixized to '-sk' (and further '-st > -s') in older stages of the
Scandinavian languages. On the one hand, this can be regarded as semantic
bleaching (the marker of reflexivity proper turns into a rather universal
marker of "middle voice", or, better, all kinds of lexicalized recessive
diatheses). On the other hand, this evolution seems to correspond to the
usual picture of deteriorization of linguistic forms, as it is discussed,
e.g., in the literature on grammaticalization.
        But if we now turn to Slavonic material, we are confronted with
another picture, which in some respects is paradoxical compared with what we
know about other branches of IE languages (see above). As widely known, the
Russian reflexive postfix '-sja/-s'' derives from a properly reflexive
pronoun. But as far as I know it doesn't derive directly or indirectly from
the "full form" 'sebe/seb'a', but from 'sa~', which, in turn, was NOT a
simple clitic derived from 'sebe/seb'a', but existed as a clitic as well as
an orthotonic pronoun. According to M.A.Gadolina (1963): Istorija form
lichnyx i vozvratnogo mestoimenij v slavjanskix jazykax (Moskva: Izd-vo AN
SSSR), the ACC-form of the reflexive pronoun, as well as the personal
pronouns of the first and second person singular, were supplanted by 'sebja'
('menja', 'tebja') only on the onset of historically documented times, this
last form "invading" from the genetive. Thus, we would have a situation as
in early Germanic, which Kemmer  (1993): The Middle, Voice (Benjamins),
characterizes as a "one-form-language" (i.e. both the reflexive and the
middle coincide); compare Germanic 'sik' and ancient Slavonic 'sa~'.
        The difference, however, is that the Germanic morpheme either
disappeared altogether (Old Saxon, Old English) or was from the ACC
transferred to the dative (German after 1500). Nothing similar happened in
the historical stages of modern Slavonic languages. Instead, due to Gadolina
(ibd.), the dative pronouns from the beginning ("iskoni") showed a short and
a long form ('si' vs. 'sebe/sobe'), which were neatly distributed as clitic
vs. orthotonic.
        From a more general typological viewpoint such a case seems quite
improbable: if, after Kemmer (ibd.), we call "direct reflexive contexts"
those which refer to the second participant (normally encoded as direct
object in the ACC) and "indirect reflexive contexts" those in which
coreference is established between the first and the third (or even a
peripheral) participant, we see that direct reflexive contexts are more
central in that there are usually more forms to be exploited differently in
discourse. (For this reason Middle High German 'sich' was extended from the
ACC to the DAT and not the other way round.)
        I hope my somewhat lenghty reasoning demonstrates the problem. In
connection with this I should like to put forward the following questions:

1. Gadolina's above cited book is of a rather old date. Can anyone advise me
newer investigations relevant to the historical development of clitic /
orthotonic / affixal forms of pronouns in Slavonic languages? I would
greatly appreciate hints at work in a typological frame and/or with some
concern for the IE background.

2. I have the impression that the language stages Gadolina discusses are,
maybe, not ancient enough to render wholly reliable data suited for
comparison with Romance and/or Germanic.

3. Does anyone know (literature on) what was the development in Baltic
languages? Can we reconstruct the way from pronouns to the nowadays affix
'-si-' in Lithuanian and the history of the regular reflexive pronouns
'save~s (GEN)/ sau (DAT)/ save (ACC)' and their functional distribution?
And: did the affix '-si-' (or its ancestor) at any time distinguish case
(ACC vs. DAT)? Was it at any time related to the ancient Slavonic clitic
'si' (see above)?

4. Finally, can anybody advise literature on the (presumable) reasons for
which the clitic forms in Eastern Slavonic disappeared altogether, whereas
in Western Slavonic they are wholly "alive" until today? There must be some
more systematic reasons exceeding just the system of pronouns.

        I will summarize replies if there will be sufficient material to be
summarized. Anyway, for hints and discussion of the question touched on
above I should be grateful.

Original Sender: g96ous72 at student.ceu.hu

Dear  all,

As some of you probably know The Soros Foundation in New York
has recently  set up the "Regional Women's Program" (RWP) whose
aim is to bring together researchers and activists from Central
and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.  Together with
another Soros's project - The Program on Gender and Culture at
Central European University (Budapest) - RWP is about to begin
preparation of "Directory of Gender Studies in Eastern Europe
and former Soviet Union". The aim of the Directory is to include
as many scientists, researchers, educators as well as the
centers, institutions, and universities with which they are
accociated, as possible.

It is understood that "gender studies"  here is to mean an
academic program (a course, a series of courses, a degree
program, a series of seminars or workshops, etc.) conducted in a
private or state-funded educational or research institution.
Courses, programs, and workshops organized by independent
centers and NGOs, as well as publication of materials on gender
issues, certainly fit this description, too.

If you want your institution to be included into this Directory
 - please fill out the form below and send it to me (the postal
and electronic address are in the end of this message).

All the best,

Serguei A. Oushakine

=======================

Program on Gender and Culture at Central European University and
Regional Women's Program are preparing for publication
"Directory of Gender studies in Eastern Europe and former Soviet
Union"

The aim of the directory is to cover as many academic,
educational, and research  centers involved into gender studies,
as possible. After the publication the Directory will be
distributed among the institutions of higher education in the
region, NGOs, and the Soros network. On-line version of the
Directory will be available as well.

The Directory will include the following information about
gender programs and research in the region:

I. Information about the program:

1.1.Title of the program;
1.2. Duration of the program;
1.3. The program's  audience.
1.4. Affiliation of the program.
1.5. Time of the program's establishment.
1.6. Main topics/areas covered by the program.

II. Contact person (or persons).

2.1. Name
2.2. Position and/or academic title.
2.3. Research interests (optional).

III. Address  (personal or/and official):

3.1. Name/institution, Street
3.2. City
3.3. Country, postal code.
3.4. Fax
3.5. Phone
3.6. E-mail
3.7. WWW-address.

For example:

I.
1.1.Course "Sociology of gender"
1.2. Duration of the course -  36 academic hours.
1.3. Main audience - the students of the Department of
Sociology.
1.4. The course is taught every semester
at Kharkov  State University, Department of Sociology..
1.5. The course has been taught for two years since
1996/97 academic year.
1.6. Main topics: gender/sexual roles and patterns of behavior;
gender stratification; changing of gender roles in transitional
society.

 II.
2.1.Kravchuk Olga,
2.2.Kandidat of science,  docent of Kharkov State University,
director of the Gender center. 2.3. Main interests: gender
stereotypes in mass media; changing gender roles; gender
identity crisis..

III. Address:

Personal:
3.1.Kravchuk Olga, Michalevich st. 46, apt.56
3.2. Kharkov.
3.3.110068, Ukraine.
3.4 Fax - none
3.5.Phone - none,
3.6 e-mail: olga at abc.kharkov.ua
3.7. www-site - none.

Business address:
3.1. Gender center, Department of Sociology, Popchuk st. 57,
room 35.
3.2. Kharkiv
3.3. 110068, Ukraine.
3.4  Fax: (code) -(number)
3.5. Phone: (code)- (number)
3.6. e-mail:________________
3.7. WWW-site - none.

It would certainly help if you decide to include a more detailed
information about the program(s) in gender studies (e.g, the
description of the course, its content, and bibliography) so
that the directory would be more specific.

We do understand that it might  take some time and effort to
provide us with this information, but we think that the benefits
of  this cooperation are ostensible. And we would certainly
appreciate any information you would  be willing to share with
us. Besides, the access to the information network, The Regional
Women's Program is now preparing  the first Regional women's
conference in Belgrade (tentatively, September-October, 1998).
Based on the information collected a certain number of small
grants and fellowships to conduct research in gender studies
will be distributed.

Please, feel  free to distribute this message among your friends
so that the directory would be as comprehensive as possible. If
you have any questions and/or comments, I could be contacted at
the  address indicated below or via this e-mail..

Good luck to you.

As a Scot/Brit, naturalised Canadian, I regret to say that in this
instance as in so many others, Canada follows US usage. This is a
wee bit cheeky of me, as I myself have succumbed to "Slavic", although
when I first applied to a  department of "Slavic" languages in Canada from
Edinburgh, I thought the name rather jarred (although not as much as some
of my preceptors!).  At the age of 21, I had hopes of getting people in
Canada to say "Slavonic", but rapidly abandoned them.

Does anyone know where I could find a video of the Czech film "Postriziny"? I
have a hazy memory of reading that Jiri Menzel directed it, along with several
other films made from Hrabal stories and novels, in France sometime in the
80s.

Subject: Polish language course on Internet
Message-ID: <MON.9.FEB.1998.104814.EST.>

I've released new Polish language learning materials for my comprehensive
Polish language learning course (for Macintosh computers).

The links for downloading the software and other information you can find
on my home-page at:

http://users.netmatters.co.uk/dandaforbes

http://users.netmatters.co.uk/dandaforbes/Polish.html

The new materials include the extensive reference to Polish adjectives. You
can find the complete inflection and comparison of almost 10,000
adjectives. You can browse the adjectives, add your comments, study the
inflection rules etc. The exercise section allows you to do many exercises.
You can practise inflection, comparison, and translation in various ways
(flash-card, type and check, multiple choice quiz, etc.). The voice based
exercises are also possible but you have to record the voice yourself or
wait for a special module with voice samples. The module contains
predefined groups of adjectives like colors, shapes, etc. You can also
set-up your own groups for exercises or study. There is a possibility to
use a special automatic word-groups generator for the advanced language
study. There are also many other possibilities.

The similar modules are already available for Polish nouns and verbs. There
are also a few new multimedia lessons for learning Polish.

Best regards,
Jacek Iwanski.

Message-ID: <TUE.10.FEB.1998.084736.0500.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGers,

I am looking for attestation of an apparent neologism, 'slezovyzhimalka',
corresponding to the English 'tear jerker' (applied to sentimental films,
books, etc.). The word was used by my Russian tutor here in Moscow in a
conversation about the film "Belyi bim, chernoe ukho". Unfortunately, no
one else I know has ever heard the word, though of course there is the
usual folk-etymological explanation that the word is a nominalization of
the verb phrase "vyzhimat' slezu". I'm willing to believe this.

I was wondering if any slang-watchers on this list have ever come across
it, and if so, about when might it have come into the language? My
"informant" tells me it is used somewhat pejoratively to apply to a certain
genre of sentimental Indian films (I wouldn't know).

Dear fellow seelangs subscribers,

I'd like to remind you that when you reply to a seelangs
posting, it goes out to everyone on the list, not just
the person who posted it.  Occasionally, replies which
are intended only for the sender have been a source of
embarrassment to their authors; more often, they're an
annoyance to the unintended recipients, who get a
mailbox full of spam.  If your e-mail only concerns
the sender, please address it to him or her instead
of replying to the whole list.

Also, if you want to unsubscribe, send a message
to seelangs at cunyvm.cuny.edu, saying "signoff SEELANGS,"
instead of mailing your desire to unsubscribe to everyone
else on the list!

Thanks,
Sharon

Dear Bruce,

I am a native Russian speaker, 30 years old, and most of my friends live
in Moscow. Nevertheless, I've never heard or read this word.

The word is obviously a witty play on "sokovyzhimalka",
a juice-squeezer. I wrote Bruce about this earlier,
but it surprises me that native Russians don't catch it,
even if they've never heard it.

Pervaja oshibka:

     Pri analize jazyka, v osobennosti russkogo, nelz'a putat'
sinxroniju i diaxroniju. Esli my govorim o sovremennom jazyke (a
imenno tak pervonachalno zvycal vopros), to eto sovremennoje,
sinxronnoje sosotojanije jazyka. Esli my lezim v istoriju RAZVITIJA
jazyka, to eto uzhe diaxronija. Dl'a kazdogo tipa issledovanija
sushtestvujet svij instrumentarij, svoji dokazatel'stva i t.d.
     Za smeshenije etix dvux podxodov k jazyku student-filolog na
ekzamene vyshe trojki ne poluchit, a na ekzamene po speckursu
_Russkoje slovoobrazovanije_, za takoje smeshenije - garantirovannaja
dvojka. Speckurs ved'ot Grigorij Aleksandrovich Pastushenkov. Bez
ssylok na jego raboty ne mozhet byt' napisana ni odna dissertacija,
zatragivajusht'aja problemu slovoobrazovanija. (On gotovit novoje
izdanije svojej monogrfii po morfemnomu i slovoobrazovatel'nomu

Vtoraja oshibochka, svjazannaj so sravnitel'nym jazykoznanijem:
malovato faktov i oni ne sovsem korrektny!!!!

     Ja ne otsylaju vas k etimologicheskim slovarjam, no v slovar'
A.Bruknera zagl'anut' voobshe-to ne meshalo by (str. 429 slovarnaja
stat'ja po povodu slova _pol_ [pul' <--- transkripcija ], str. 679 -
chislitel'nyje).
     Jesli my posmotrim tolkovyj slovar' sovremennogo
cheshskogo jazyka (tom 3, str. 1174-1176), to uvidim, chto v sovremennom
cheshskom jazyke fiksirujuts'a
     a) slovo pul {u-kruzkovanoj v korne} znachenije = 1/2 cego libo.
     b) morfemu pul- pervaja cast' slozhnyx slov: pulcesty, pulkruh i
dr. (daj'ots'a bez diakreticheskix znakov - nedostaki komp'juternoj
texniki)

     V sv'azi s etim vstajot vopros, pochemu v zapadnyx slav'anskix
jazykax v perevom sloge zvuchit [u], a v vostochnoslav'anskom
zakrepilas' bukva O, kotoraja v literaturnom jazyke proiznosits'a kak
reducirovannyj glasnyj er (ne putat' s er').
     Vopros, kak govorits'a _na zasypku_, dl'a studenta 2-3 kursa -
_Ob'asnite, pozhalusta {<-- foneticheskoje napisanij}, v cheskom i
russkom jazykax:
     ceshskij: nEsu - nOsim - prinAsim - nUse (bez diakritiki)
     russkij: nEsti - nOsit', slUch - slYshat'; zanJAt' - zanIMat' i t.d.

Ja special'no ne privozhu primery iz territorial'nyx dialektov, no tam
jesht' bolee interesnyje veshti nabkudajuts'a. Ob etix primerax sm. nizhe.

     V dannom spore nas interesujet ne pervyj glasnyj, a vtoroj, to
jest glasnyj zvuk, kotoryj v cerkovnoslavanskom (staroslav'anskom,
drevnebolgarskom) i drevnerusskom jazykax oboznachals'a na pisme
bukvoj er (cifroj 7 po metodike professora Ralpha Climensona).
Dejstvitel'no etimologicheski er vosxodut k indoevropejskomu *u, no ne
prosto k zvuku *u, a k kratkomu, reducirovannomu zvuku [*u].

     V sv'azi s etim u men'a neskol'ko voprosov k uvazhajemomu
professoru Cleminsonu:

     1) Mog li kratkij reducirovannyj zvuk perexodit' v zvuk polnogo
obrazovanija, esli da, to pri kakix uslovijax takoj perexod vozmozhen?

     Dl'a podskazki primer iz russkix territorialnyx dialektov:
slovo OGUREC v govorax mozhet proiznosit's'a kak
      ugurec, igurec, gurec
slovo sosed -->> sused
     Takije javlenija zhivuchi v narodnom jazyke, no v posledneje
vrem'a (poslednije 15 -20 let) takije javlenija v bol'shej mere
leksikolizujut's'a. (Leksikolizacija - ODNA IZ tendencji russkogo
jazyka, kogda kokoje-libo javlenije zakrepl'ajets'a za opredel'onnym
slovom, leksemoj. Leksikolizacija xarakterna ne tol'ko dl'a govorov,
no i dl'a literaturnogo jazyka).

     2) Kak ob'asnit' sludujstije primery iz slovar'a Dal'a: Odnomy
polAgor'a; Chuzhaja beda polAgor'a; Chuzhoje gore vpolAgor'a gorevat'
(bolshimi, zaglavnymi bukvami oboznacheny udarnyje glasnyje).

     3) Kak ob'jasnut' nazvanije slav'anskoj bogini xlebnyx niv i polej
(a eto nazvanije sushestvovalo zadolgo do pojavlenija i
rasprostranenija kirillicheskogo pis'ma) POLUDNICA (specialno ne daju
praslav'anskuju formu - dl'a spicialista rekonstrukcija elementarna).

     (O slav'anskix bozhestvax citajte: Elena Grushko, Yurij Medvedev
_Slovar' slav'anskoj mifologii_, Nizhnij Novgorod: 'Russkij kupec' i
'Brat'ja slav'ane', 1995. - Malen'kij kommentarij: kniga napisana
istorikami, recenzirovalas' filosofami, dl'a lingvista, filologa
slabovato, poskol'ku s 1992 po 1996 gg. v ramkax programmy
leksicheskogo atlasa russkix narodnyx govorov studenty i prepodavateli
nashego universiteta sobirali materialy po dannoj tematike. Materialov
bol'she, chem privodits'a v slovare).

     4) Kak i gogda proizoshlo padenije reducirovannyx glasnyx v
slav'anskix jazykax (v odno vrem'a, v raznoje vrem'a, rezultaty)?

     Bez otveta na eti voprosy diskussja po povodu -u v morfeme
(diaxronnyj podxod) ili kvazimorfeme (sinxronnyj podxod) POLU- ne
vozmozhen.

Esli eto oshibka, to ee sdelal ne ja, a Lotoshko, zagovoriv to tom,
budto "Kvazimorfema POL- javljaetsa usechonnoj formoj slova
POLOVINA", to jest' o proiskhozhdenii slova.  Ja khotel tol'ko
zametit', chto esli slovo sushchestvuet nepreryvno v jazyke
zadolgo do togo, kak stal produktivnym opredelennyj process, ono ne
moglo vozniknut' v rezul'tate togo processa.

Obviously so. I've forgot to write about it.
To Jurij Lotoshko - unlike "slezovyzhimalka", your example was more or less
common in slang (80th, I guess).

I have a diabetic student who wants to go on a summer program in Vladimir.
Has anyone had any experience with coping with this problem in Russia,
either personally or via students? Could you please relate to me (off list)
any problems or issues that arose? Her parents are reluctant to allow her
to go, because of this problem. However, she is a dedicated student who
wants to pursue study abroad. I need to be informed, so that she can tell
her parents what the situation is.  Thanks in advance.  JRW

In Russian Language do exist  compound words with the root 'vyzhimalka',
like 'sokovyzhimalka', so it's possible to make other derivatives.

Carpatho-Ukraine in the Twentieth Century: A Political and Legal History.
Vincent Shandor

Carpatho-Ukraine in the Twentieth Century offers political memoirs and
commentary by Vincent Shandor, an elder statesman who served as a
Czechoslovak government official representing Carpatho-Ukraine during the
years leading up to World War II. From his unique first-person perspective,
Shandor analyzes the shifting political situation and legal status of
Carpatho-Ukraine from the last days of the Habsburg Empire through the
region¹s two decades as the Czechoslovak region of Subcarpathian Ruthenia
and onto the wartime reoccupation by Hungary and the region¹s ultimate
incorporation into the Ukrainian SSR as the Transcarpathia Oblast. Valuable
both for its scholarly critique and memoiristic accounts of life on the
ground in the late 1930s, Carpatho-Ukraine in the Twentieth Century offers
new documentary evidence never before available in English about the
crucial events leading up to and during World War II, including the Vienna
Arbitration and its aftermath, Hungarian, German, and Polish maneuvering in
the region prior to the outbreak of war, the dissolution of the
Czecho-Slovak federation and its causes, the Carpatho-Ukrainian declaration
of independence, and the juridical background to the Soviet incorporation
of the region. It also offers new insight into the extent of Ukrainian
nationhood and the debate over ethnicity in the region throughout the
period.

Dr. Vincent Shandor, head of the Carpatho-Ukrainian Representation to the
Prague Federal government during the critical period preceding and at the
beginning of World War II, was born on October 12, 1907 in Baranintsi, near
the Carpatho-Ukrainian capital of Uzhhorod. He was a direct participant in
Carpatho-Ukrainian independence following Slovakia¹s declaration of
independence and helped negotiate the path that Carpatho-Ukraine was forced
to take during these difficult years. Forced into exile by the advance of
the Red Army, he emigrated to the United States, where he has resided for
fifty years, working in the Pan-American Ukrainian Conference, the General
Secretariat of the United Nations, and the U.S. Treasury Department. He
received his Doctorate in Jurisprudence from Charles University in Prague
and undertook further study in political science at Goethe University in
Frankfurt and at Columbia University in New York.

Regarding the recent discussion of Slavic vs. Slavonic, can anyone shed light
on "Sclavonic," a form that apparently was in wide use in the early and middle
19th century?  I have seen  many usages of this term in descriptions of
travels to Russia in this time period.

"The next advantage of the Russian Church over the Italian, is the performance
of the divine offices in a known tongue, the Sclavonic..."

I4m searching for www-sites of polish newspapers and magazines. As far,
I4ve only found "Gazeta Wyborcza" and "Zycie Warszawy"; I would be
interested, though, in "Polityka" or "Wprost" as well. Can anyone help
me?
Thanks in advance,
Christian Prunitsch

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

I don't know about "Polityka" or "Wprost", but you might also be
interested in checking out "Rzeczpospolita" at:

     <www.rzeczpospolita.pl>

I'd also like to know about any other Polish newspapers or magazines
on the web.

Someone recently asked about the use of inverted word order for
approximations in "Old Russian."  In general, I think it is there,how early
I can't say at the moment.  I came across an example of a related formula,
"tomu nyne goda s tri," in Kotkov et al., _Moskovskaia delovaia i bytovaia

Despite your request to respond off the list, I think that everyone would
benefit from the following URL - it's a link to ART-TENETA - a literary
contest taking place on the web. It's a treasure! There's no doubt a number
of contestants are very promising - and it is likely they will be judged
accordingly and evaluated fairly, for the contest's committee (jury)
consists of such well-known figures as Boris Strugatsky, Alexander
Zhitinsky, Andrey Bitov, Aleksandr Kushner, Mihail Chulaki and several
others.

It's very likely that the future of Russian literature (at least, in part)
will be born or is being born already on the Internet.  Here's the address
for ART-TENETA:

http://www.art.spb.ru/konkurs/

(I would recommend to take note of Aleksey Andreev - he's one of the most
talented persons of creative word of his generation - he's 26.  See his
"Setera", for example - manifest setevoy literatury).

As for more sources on  Russian writing that depicts the Internet, try:

http://www.zhurnal.ru/ - Vestnik setevoy (russkoy)kul'tury

http://kulichki.rambler.ru/XpomoiAngel/html/ - novel "HTML" by Aleksandr
Romadanov. I haven't read, so I'm not sure whether it pertains to the net,
but I assume that it does from the title.

Best wishes,

Dear Colleagues:

Four new Russian radio channels have joined the growing list of
Russian broadcasts on the Internet. These are actually audio
simulcasts of Russian TV broadcasts of the NTV Network of Moscow.
They include NTV Music, NTV Sport, NTV Our Movies and NTV World
Movies. You'll need RealAudio or RealPlayer (which is of course FREE
from www.real.com. The address can be found at the Geocities List
under Russian Radio-Video (Active) on my web site at:

Subject: Etymological conference -- Krk, Croatia, November 1998
Message-ID: <SUN.15.FEB.1998.101400.0100.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

Fourth Skok etymological conference will be held on November 6--7, 1998, in
the city of Krk. 

The last Dalmatophone, Tone Udaina Burbur, died in 1898. He spoke Vegliote,
a dialect of the Dalmatian language. Vegliote was spoken in the island of
Krk (city of Krk = Vegliote _Vekla_, from Lat. _civitas vetula_; Vegliote
_Vekla_ gave Italian _Veglia_), in Croatia. 

As you can read in Matteo Giulio Bartoli's _Das Dalmatische_ II (Wien 1906;
modified writing) -- 

naNka join dei sinyáuri noN sapája favlúr iN veklisún. 
"Neanche uno dei signori non sapeva parlar in vegliesano." (7/8) -- said
Tone Udaina Burbur. 

In connection with the 100th aniversary of the death of Tone Udaina Burbur
and the Dalmatian and Vegliote language, _Fourth Skok etymological
conference_ will be held on November 6--7, 1998, in the city of Krk. 

Linguists working with Adriatic, Croatian, Mediterranean and general themes
of the etymological theory and praxis, are invited to submit their
contributions.

Interested linguistist should send their registration (with the title of
the paper and a short summary), to the following address:

Razred za filoloske znanosti HAZU
Odbor za etimologiju
(za IV. Skokove etimoloske susrete)
Ul. Andrije Hebranga 2
HR-10000 Zagreb
Hrvatska/Croatia

(or e-mails). 

Deadline: June 15, 1998. 

If it is not possible to you to take part in the conference, your paper
would be read. 

Please, inform other colleagues! 

Sorry, your trip to Croatia and stay in Krk can not be paid by Croatian
Academy. 



Petar Skok etymological conference is a conference held by Croatian Academy
of Sciences and Arts (Pula 1994, Zadar 1990, Zagreb 1986). 

Petar Skok (1881--1956) was a great Croatian linguist. He worked mostly in
Romanic languages, in Balkan linguistics (Vulgar Latin, Dalmatian,
Romanisms in Croatian and other languages). -- He wrote Etimologijski
rjecnik hrvatskoga ili srpskoga jezika (1971--74), Pregled francuske
gramatike (1939), Francuska knjizevnost XIX. i XX. vijeka (1939), Osnovi
romanske lingvistike (1940). -- He wrote about 520 articles and books (340
in linguistics). -- See more f.e. in Zarko Muljacic, Petar Skok come
linguista, in Richard Baum et al. (ed.), Lingua et Traditio. Geschichte der
Sprachwissenschaft und der neueren Philologien. Festschrift fuer Hans

P.S.This reminds me of a resume I received a year or two ago from Belorus.
Its author promised to vastly improve our Russian program (although I doubt
that he was well versed in the fall of jers), and my thoughts were: It
would improve our program if the students did not feel that they were
milked to the breaking point during their trip to Russia, and did not have
to fight the absurdity every step of the way. Even the most enthusiastic
loose their motivation after a semester in Russia. Yet, those who love the
sense of the bizarre strive there.

Dear SEELANGS members,

     A colleague of mine in Slovakia is interested in obtaining a
complete listing (with addresses) of North American institutions that
offer graduate degrees in Slavic Languages.  I know of several such
listings that provide e-mail, WWW, and other such electronic coordinates
for the departments, but I am unaware of a list of Slavic departments that
provides good ol' postal addresses and phone/fax numbers.  If anyone can
direct me to such a list (either on-line or in hard copy), both my
colleague and I would be very grateful.  Thank you.

Subject: Radio Mayak and Radio C Live on the Internet
Message-ID: <MON.16.FEB.1998.001152.0600.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Collleagues:

Exciting news:

The latest major newcomers are Radio Mayak (Moscow) and Radio C
(Ekaterinburg).

The address for Radio Mayak (Russian State Radio Station) is:

http://www.radiomayak.ru/

You might have seen them on the GeoList on my website. However, due to
technical problems, I couldn't evaluate the quality of their signal. I just
picked them up tonight  live and the sound quality was EXCELLENT. And LIVE.
A wonderful addition to the growing numbe of live Russian stations on the
Internet.

Please note that Mayak radio uses RealPlayer 5.0, not 3.0 or 4.0 but
RealPlayer 5.0, which is available for FREE from RealPlayer's site at:

http://www.real.com


In addition, a new station has arrived on the scene, Radio C from
Ekaterinburg. Their address is:

http://www.radioc.ru/

This is also a streaming broadcast, in other words, LIVE. However, their
signal (at least from here in New Orleans, LA, USA) is rather weak. I sent
them an email message informing them of the problem, and I hope that they
will correct the problem just as Mayak did.

You can always find these stations on my web site (Russian Bookmarks, at
the bottom of the list) under Russian Radio-Video. They are listed
individually or look for the GeoCities site which is a list of currently
available stations.

While I am on the subject, may I recommend Chulaki's very entertaining
lectures each Wednesday (recorded). They usually last 15 or so minutes.
They cover every possible topic. Sometimes they are enlightening (Chulaki
is a doctor and author), sometimes sophomoric, but always entertaining.
You'll find his lectures on my site under TeleWebrama. Go to the site, then
download Microsoft's Netshow, their new multimedia player. It's FREE. You
can even SEE Chulaki deliver his lectures. But Russian live video is still
very primitive and, except for the St. Petersburg Fitness Center (see
list), non-existent. When it arrives, I'll be sure to notify the list.

Yours,

Benjamin

I tak, vern'oms'a k teme diskussii. Napomn'u voprosy:

     1) Mog li kratkij reducirovannyj zvuk perexodit' v zvuk polnogo
obrazovanija, esli da, to pri kakix uslovijax takoj perexod vozmozhen?

     2) Kak ob'asnit' sludujstije primery iz slovar'a Dal'a: Odnomy

(bolshimi, zaglavnymi bukvami oboznacheny udarnyje glasnyje).

     3) Kak ob'jasnit' nazvanije slav'anskoj bogini xlebnyx niv i
polej (a eto nazvanije sushestvovalo zadolgo do pojavlenija i
rasprostranenija kirillicheskogo pis'ma) POLUDNICA (v

     4) Kak i kogda proizoshlo padenije reducirovannyx glasnyx v
slav'anskix jazykax (v odno vrem'a, v raznoje vr'em'a, rezultaty)?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Voprosy byli zadany ne slucajno, ibo oni tol'ko podvod'at k
ob'jektu diskussii -> pol-, polu-, polov- v russkom jazyke (i drugix
slav'anskix jazykax).
     Voprosy legkije, dl'a studenta 2-3 kursa filologicheskogo
fakul'teta universiteta. Esli kogo-to interesujut polnyje otvety na
eti voprosy, to, mozhet byt', kto-nibud' iz mojx studentov otvetit na
nix (pishite, sprashivajte).

Ja lish' podvedu itog (rezume), kotoryj stanet isxodnoj tochkoj
(isxodnym punktom) dl'a dal'nejshix rassuzdenij.

     1) V praslav'anskom jazyke bylo ochen' PODVIZHNOJE i
RAZNOOBRAZNOJE udarenij (ne tol'ko po kachestvu, no i po mestu). Samyj
strashnyj dl'a men'a tip udarenija soxranils'a v serbskom ili
xorvatskom jazyke (ranshe eto nazyvalos' serbo-xorvatskij) - 4 tipa
udarenij, pri etom uchityvajets'a vosxod'asht'aja i nisxod'ashtija
intonacija - ja jejo ne ulavlivaju - medved' na uxo nastupil).

V russkom jazyke voschod'ashteje udarenije soxranilos' lish v
territorial'nyx dialektax, imenno poetomu v govorax s takim udarenijem
nabludajets'a perexod O v U --> sosed --> sused. V r'ade severnyx
(okajushtix govorax) udarenije tozhe specificheskoje (v opredelennoj
mere muzykal'noje, naprimer vovlogodskije govory - zaslushajeshsa). V
r'ade territirialnyx govorov na meste diftongicheskogo O mozno
uslyshat' O-napr'azhonnoje ili diftong -OU-.

Udarenije v russkom jazyke, v otlichije ot zapadnyx slav'anskix
jazykov, nefiksirovannoje. Prichem sushestvujet normirovannoje
udarenije (zakrepleno v orfoepicheskix slovar'ax) i prostorechnoje
udarenije. Takoje nenormirovannoj udarenije vy mozhete uslyshat' v
publichnyx vystuplenijax r'ada sovremennyx politicheskix dejatelej,
dl'a kotoryx _ukaz - neukaz_.

Bezudarnyje glasnyje reducirujut's'a. V sovremennyx zapadnyx
slav'anskix jazykax udarenije fiksirovannoje (dl'a pol'skogo jazyka -
predposlednij slog, dl'a cheshskogo jazyka - na pervom sloge
foneticeskogo slova.

     2) V zavisimosti ot tipa udarenija i poziciji glasnogo v slove v
slav'anskix jazykax pojavilis' raznyje tipy cheredovanij. Osnovnymi
tipami javl'ajut's'a:
     a) kachestvennoje;
     b) kolichestvennoj;
     c) kachestvenno-kolichestvennoje.

(V dannom sluchaje pon'atije _GLASNYJ zvuk_ v opredel'onnoj mere
uslovnoje, poskolku slogoobrazujushtimi elementami v praslav'anskom
jazyke mogli byt' ne tolko glasnyje, no i slogoobrazujushtije
soglasnyje i diftongi).

V dannoj diskussiji nas budet interesovat' til'ko odno cheredovanije
praslav'anskogo jazyka, unasledovannoje iz indoevropejskogo:

     U-kratkoje // diftong -OU- // U polnogo obrazovanija

     3) Process padenija reducirovannyx v slav'anskix jazykax -
process dlitel'nyj (c 9 veka do 12 veka). Realizacija reducirovannyx
glasnyx zavisila ot udarenija v slove (sm. p.1).

     Prin'av za osnovu dannyje polozhenija, my mozhem utverzhdat', chto
k momentu rasprostranenija kirillicheskogo pis'ma (azbuki)
{ostavl'ajem za predelami nashej diskussii vopros o _chertax i risax_,
kotoryje videl ne territoriji slav'an arabskij puteshestvennik 6 veka
(??- mogu oshibits'a v date) } v slov'anskix jazukax UZHE
SYSHESTVOVALO TRI realizacii odnogo i togo ze segmenta (koren'+
okoncanije) obsheslavanskogo jazyka:

     a) polu - c kratkim u, kotoroje k momenty sozdanija pismennyx
dokumentov stalo realizovyvat's'a v samostojatelnom slove -pol(7)
{ispolzuju transkripciju, predlozhennuju prof. R.Climensonom, skobki
ukazuvajut na to, chto posledn'aja bukva - er- mogla uzhe ne
otrazhat'sa na pisme v r'ade jazykov, poskol'ku process padenija
reducirovannyx uzhe nacals'a k momentu rasprostranenija kirillicy};

     b) polou - s diftongom -OU-. Prichem etot sigment realizovals'a v
slovoobrazovatel'noj modele s suffiksom -IN- (so znachenijem
jedinichnosti).
      * polou - in - a
     V rezul'tate dejstvija zakona slogovogo singarmonizma konechnoje
-U doftonga pereshlo v soglasnyj V (sravnite lat. auto- - russk. avto,
ili vspomnite proisxozdenije formy Rod. pad (Genetiv) mnozhestvennogo
chisla -OV). To jest k momentu sozdanija pismennosti etot sigment imenno v
takom vide i soxranilsja ne tol'ko v russkom, no i v drugix
slav'anskix jazykax. Naprimer, polskij - POLOWICA v znacenii _zhena,
supruga_ (dl'a russkogo jazyka eto zhe znacenije sv'azano so slovom
POLOVINA - raznyje slovoobrazovatel'nyje affiksy, a tochneje - raznyje
znachenija obshteslav'anskix affiksov i modelej);

     c) polu- s -U- polnogo obrazovanija, realizujemogo pod udarenijem.
Prichem v obshteslavanskom jazyke etot sigment, PO-VIDIMOMU,
prisutstvoval tol'ko v slozhnyx slovax. Imenno poetomu

Pochemu ja nazyvaju polu^//polu//polou sigmentami, a ne
kakimi-libo lingvisticheskimi terminami? Ochen' prosto. Sistema
slovoobrazovanija na urovne praslav'anskogo ili obshteslav'anskogo

nacional'nyx slav'anskix jazykax, xot'a obshtije principy i soxranilis'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No eto uzhe drugoj vopros. Otmechu lish to, chto mozhet byt'
neizvestno: v 1994 byl opublikovan novyj etimologicheskij slovar':

     Uvazhajemyj prof. Ralph Cimenson, obratite vnimanije na to, kak

Itak, my ustanovili, chto k momentu pojavlenija kirillicheskogo pisma
v slav'anskix jazykax sushestvovalo tri varianta realizaciji

Bylo by ochen' prekrasno, esli by kto-nibud' dal lingvisticheskoje

predposlednij slog, dl'a cheshskogo jazyka - na pervom sloge
foneticeskogo slova.

     2) V zavisimosti ot tipa udarenija i poziciji glasnogo v slove v
slav'anskix jazykax pojavilis' raznyje tipy cheredovanij. Osnovnymi
tipami javl'ajut's'a:
     a) kachestvennoje;
     b) kolichestvennoj;
     c) kachestvenno-kolichestvennoje.

(V dannom sluchaje pon'atije _GLASNYJ zvuk_ v opredel'onnoj mere
uslovnoje, poskolku slogoobrazujushtimi elementami v praslav'anskom
jazyke mogli byt' ne tolko glasnyje, no i slogoobrazujushtije
soglasnyje i diftongi).

V dannoj diskussiji nas budet interesovat' til'ko odno cheredovanije
praslav'anskogo jazyka, unasledovannoje iz indoevropejskogo:

     U-kratkoje // diftong -OU- // U polnogo obrazovanija

     3) Process padenija reducirovannyx v slav'anskix jazykax -
process dlitel'nyj (c 9 veka do 12 veka). Realizacija reducirovannyx
glasnyx zavisila ot udarenija v slove (sm. p.1).

     b) polou - s diftongom -OU-. Prichem etot sigment realizovals'a v

takom vide i soxranilsja ne tol'ko v russkom, no i v drugix

Dear Colleagues,
        I helped to plan a similar seminar with the Moscow Conservatory in 1996
and it was a great success; this year, with the same organizers, but moving
further afield to Cossack communities, it looks even more exciting. If you
know of people who are interested in Russian folk music, please pass this
notice on to them.
        My apologies to those of you who may have received duplicate notices.

SUMMER SEMINAR IN COSSACK FOLK MUSIC AT MOSCOW STATE CONSERVATORY

The Folk Music Department of the Moscow State Conservatory announces its
second summer seminar, The Singing and Instrumental Traditions of the Don
Cossacks, to take place August 5-19, 1998. The seminar will include 6 days
of workshops and courses at the Moscow Conservatory, and a 7-day field
expedition to Cossack villages in the Volgograd region of Russia.
Participants will live in home-stay situations: in Moscow, they will be
housed with members of the Moscow State Conservatory Folklore Ensemble, and
in the Volgograd area, in Cossack homes. Natalia Giliarova, the chair of
the Folklore Department of the Conservatory and director of the Folklore
Ensemble, will conduct the seminar. The specific hours of study included in
the Moscow portion of the trip are:
        -Basic genres of Russian folklore (4 hours)
        -Singing traditions of the Don Cossacks (4 hours)
        -The Wedding ritual (2 hours)
        -Instrumental traditions of the Don Cossacks (2 hours)
        -Workshops in singing, instruments, and traditional dances and
games, together with the Moscow Conservatory Folklore Ensemble. Includes
group field trips to museums and parks in Moscow area (12 hours)
        Lectures, classes, and all songs taught will be translated into
English for those who do not know Russian. In living situations, every
effort will be made to match non-Russian speakers with English-speaking
hosts and/or roommates.
        In Volgograd, participants will acquaint themselves with the traditions of
the Don Cossacks directly from members of local amateur ensembles, and will
have a chance to observe firsthand how traditions are carried out today.
The Don Cossacks are Russian-speaking people who settled in the borderlands
of Russia during the 16th century. They evolved particular traditions drawn
from their ususual lifestyles and proximity to non-Russian peoples; their
music has been made popular in Russia through the efforts of numerous
revivalist groups, such as the Dmitri Pokrovsky Ensemble, which has
extensively toured the U.S.
        Both in Moscow and in Volgograd, participants will have ample opportunity
to learn and practice songs and dances outside of scheduled classes. The
seminar will be conducted informally with plenty of individual attention,
so that students with particular interests can pursue them within the
context of the seminar. All skill levels are welcome.
        Cost of the entire seminar, including all living expenses, transportation
within Russia, and classes, is $1340 if there is a total of 7-10
participants, and $1200 if there are 10-15 participants. Supplementary
cultural programs such as visits to specific museums or monuments in Moscow
can be organized at the wish of the participants for modest extra cost.
        Those who wish to take part in the seminar should send a letter to
the Conservatory by May 1, 1998, with the following information, which is
necessary for the issuance of the visa: Full name, date of birth, address,
place of work or study, number of passport, its expiration date and date
and place of issuance, and the desired dates for entry and exit of Russia.
The letter should be sent by fax to: (7) (095) 229-9659 (write dlia
Giliarovoi on cover sheet) or by post to: Natalia Giliarova, Kabinet
narodnoi muzyki, Moskovskaia Konservatoria, B. Nikitskaia 13, Moscow,
Russia 103871. You may wish to call to make sure your fax or letter has
been received; the home phone number of the seminar's organizer, Oksana
Levko, is (7) (095) 138-1569.
        For more information about the seminar, contact the co-organizer
of the 1996 seminar, Prof. Laura Olson, Dept. of Germanic and Slavic,

consultations and curricula development programs to educators and
advanced graduate students in the humanities and social sciences from
the United States or Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and
Uzbekistan.

CDEP participants are affiliated with host universities in the United
States or the NIS, and participate in graduate seminars concerning
methodology and content of their specific fields of study, consult
with department faculty on course design and teaching materials, and
lead part of graduate or undergraduate courses to advance their own
teaching skills.

*****************************************************
Opportunities for US Educators and Advanced Graduate Students:
*****************************************************
Eligible candidates are US citizens affiliated with a college or
university as a faculty member or doctoral candidate; able to

From: sher07 at bellsouth.net (Benjamin Sher)
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 1998 11:06:56 -600
Subject: URGENT -- THE REALPLAYER "FIASCO"!
Message-ID: <WED.18.FEB.1998.110656.600.>

Dear Colleagues:

URGENT!

In response to a letter by Judy Chmura of H-Russia, who wrote to
say that she had downloaded the free version of RealPlayer 5.0 only
to find out 30 days later that it had expired and that she was now
asked to pay $39 for it, the answer is that RealPlay 5.0 IS ,and I
repeat, IS IN FACT absolutely FREE and it says so clearly in capital
letters. The problem is finding it on RealPlayer's site.

Ms. Chmura most likely confused the RealPlayerPLUS 5.0 with the
RealPlayer Free 5.0.

They are essentially the same. RealPlayerPlus adds a minor feature or
two. Other than that, they are the same thing. However, as you would
expect, RealPlayer is pushing their COMMERCIAL REALPLAYPLUS 5.0 over
THE FREE REALPLAY 5.0.

SPECIAL NOTE: I just looked again. You'll find the Free RealPlayer
5.0 at the very top right of the home page under

REAL SYSTEM 5.0,
ENTIRE REALNETWORKS PRODUCT LINE FOR INTERNET AND INTRANET.

Double Click and go to the very bottom of the new page. At the bottom
you'll find RealPlayerPlus 5.0 and RealPlayer Free. You'll notice
that it is free for non-commercial, personal use, etc. etc. Very well
hidden, don't you think?  The reason I had not mentioned this is
because RealPlayer, like so many companies, change their home page
very frequently, rearranging products like crazy, doing everything
they can to push their commercial versions and hide their free or
"lite" versions, even when these free or limited versions are more
than sufficient for the purpose.]

To do this, and this is common practice on sites that offer both a
commercial and free version, the company in question promotes their
commercial version ahead of the free version in every way possible by
featuring the commercial version physically ahead of the free
version, by downplaying or "hiding" the free version or by putting it
at the very bottom of the page or in some special category. You have
to hunt for it. Usually a "search" on the local search engine site
will reveal where it is.

There is no real difference between RealPlayerPlus 5.0 and RealPlayer
5.0 Free, but there IS a major difference between RealPlayer (Plus or
Free) and ALL earlier versions and you should definitely get version
5.0. You'll need it. Most broadcasters are switching to the much
superior technology of RealPlayer (Plus or Free) 5.0.

You'll find the same commercial vs. free cat and mouse game with
many other products, e.g. Eudora email. Eudora Light (or Lite) is
absolutely FREE and is fabulous and I myself use it along with
Pegasus (another extraordinary FREE email program). But when you go
to Eudora's web site at http://www.eudora.com you'll find yourself
understandably bombarded by a whole campaign to sell you Eudora Pro,
a very powerful, professional email program. Yet, Eudora Lite is a
very powerful program in its own right and, for all practical
purposes, Eudora Lite is more than sufficient for any normal person.
But to find it you have to do a little investigating. Look at the top
and you'll see in tiny print "Freeware" or "Eudora Lite", then follow
the links till you get to Eudora Lite. Or do a simple search.

Every company worth its name has a local search engine. Type in the
name of your producd and you'll find it.

I could name a dozen or two dozen such products but let me end with
one other fabulous FREE vs. PROFESSIONAL product, namely, the
WebFerretPRO vs. WebFerret Free Meta Search Engine. The Free version,
using 10 search engines, is a great program, and absolutely essential
for serious research. It is absolutely free from Ferretsoft at:

http://www.ferretsoft.com

But you'll have to watch out for WebferretPro, which is also "FREE"
FOR DOWNLOAD, but only for a 30 day trial period. These 30-day trial
free downloads are, technically speaking, free because you can use
them fully (when they are fully functional, which is not always the
case -- read the fine print) for free for 30 days. But what you
really want, of course, is a really free product that you can use
forever. In this case, if you look carefully you'll see the Free
Webferret, the one that you can keep for good.

What's the difference? the Free Webferret uses 10 search engines, the
WebferretPro uses 25. An important difference but not a critical one.

I might add that there is another fabulous and FREE meta search
engine called EchoSearch at:

http://www.iconovex.com

Again, read the fine print. Watch out! There is an EchoSearchPro,
which can be downloaded for "free" for 30 days only. The version you
want is the last one on the list and uses 8 great search engines.
Completely free for life.

A little experience on the Internet can go a long way.

One final point: There are dozens, literally dozens of FREE audio and
video and multimedia clients (that is, free programs that allow you
to receive audio and video and multimedia programs) on the Web. They
are free because the software companies need a pool of receivers at
one end in order to make their money selling their servers (the
broadcasting software) to developers and broadcasters at the other
end. This includes such great programs as Netshow, VDO, Streamworks,
QuickTime, etc. etc. Most of them are free. Really free, for good,
with free upgrades. But some are not. So, once again and for the last
time, read the fine print. If you need any help, feel free to contact
me. I have learned the hard way so you won't have to.

Yours,

Benjamin




And so on and son.

I am sorry if you Judy had to pay $39 or whatever for RealPlayerPlus.
I should have been more specific. My apologies. But RealPlayer 5.0 is
there and has always been there and it is absolutely free.

Yours,

Benjamin

Dear Colleagues:

In my letter I stated:

" Most broadcasters are switching to the much
superior technology of RealPlayer (Plus or Free) 5.0."

Lest I be misunderstood, let me clarify that I meant to say that most
broadcasters who have been using earlier versions of RealAudio (now
known as RealPlayer) such as versions 3.0 and 4.0 are now upgrading
to RealPlayer 5.0 (Plus or Free). There are, of course, other live,
streaming audio and video players, such as Streamworks, VDO, Netshow
(see previous letter)

Yours,

Benjamin

I am trying to get information about what it is like in the Republic of
Georgia (especially Tbilisi) right now, particularly for a female
foreigner who speaks neither Russian nor Georgia.

If anyone reading this has been there recently, I would appreciate your
impressions.

Thank you.

It seems there are no way of sending money from Japan to

do the job for me?
  Is EuroCheque valid in Tbilisi? Most unlikely, I fear.

  If there are absolutely no ways, I shall ask a friend in Moscow
to send money from Moscow. But that is the last resort as sending
money to Russia is still an awkward business.

Subject: request for participation
Message-ID: <SUN.22.FEB.1998.105549.0600.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Colleagues:

I am currently working on a project on error gravity in Russian, and invite
you and others you know to participate in this project.  The project is
designed to assess the degree to which one or another error in learner
speech in Russian is irritating to different groups of listeners:

1) native speakers of Russian, regardless of their profession, regardless of
their place of residence
2) instructors of Russian, regardless of their nationality, regardless of
their place of residence

The speech samples have been loaded up on to a web site in a program
designed to facilitate their analysis.  There are 10 speech samples each of
which is approximately 1 minute in length.  It will take approximately 30
minutes to complete the survey and send the results to me by e-mail.

The program can be downloaded quickly from the web if you are on any college
or university network onto any PowerMacintosh or PC using Windows '95 or
Windows 3.1.  If downloaded over a modem, the download process can take an
hour or so, depending on the speed of the modem.

In the case of an institution with a number of instructors of Russian or a
number of native speakers of Russian on the staff or faculty (regardless of
whether or not they teach Russian), it may be efficient to ask the language
lab to download the program once and then arrange for individuals to have
access to the program in the lab rather than to download it many times.

The URL for the error gravity project is:

http://polyglot.lss.wisc.edu/slavic/rifkin/errorgravity/index.html

The program is available both in English and in Russian.

If you have any questions about the program or the research project, please
do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for your time.

With best regards,

Ben Rifkin

Subject: Romanoff colors?

As I was doing some research about Mardi Gras, I came across a
statement that the New Orleans Mardi Gras colors, purple, green, and
gold, were selected because they were the colors of the Romanoff
house.   I knew that the visit of one of the Grand Dukes to the city
is often cited as the reason the grand ball was founded (or some
other connection with Mardi Gras---I've found a couple of different
versions) but this was new---and, as I also teach Russian, I was very
interested; I had never heard this.  Does anyone have any further
information, or know if this is true?

The basic purpose of the proposed Summer school Application of Information
Technologies to

of the CEE region, and
the specialists in Biblical Studies are not well informed and/or do not have
access to modern
tools. This situation leads to some isolation of the experts in the field of
Biblical Studies from
their colleagues from countries who have modern facilities.
The School intends to attract participants which basic field of expertise is
related to Biblical
Studies and who have basic computer literacy.
Additional goals of the School are:
        To serve as an ideal forum for contacts of specialists from the CEE region;
        To promote establishment of links for future cooperation;
        To start building a network of institutions and individuals in the CEE region
interested in the
field.
Participants in the School will have the possibility to present their own
experience in the field.

WELL......HELLOOO!

Hi Guy,

As you can see, I still subscribe to SEELANGS.

This sounds like something I could do if I were closer to graduating.  How much
does it pay?

I would like to look at the information.   Maybe even consider going and taking
Mike with me.  Of course, I have a whole family here and it would be very hard
for me to do so.

How are you?  How long have you been there? Are you close to MGU?  Do you see
Liudmila Stepanovna?  Nadezhda? Liudmila Vlasova?

I really hope everything is going well for you.

Judy

Subject: Seeking help/advice/contacts for visit of Tolstoy scholar
Message-ID: <MON.23.FEB.1998.142200.0500.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Members of SEELANGS:
   As part of a sister-city relationship between Albany, NY and Tula, Russia, we
 are planning to
host a visiting scholar in April who is an expert on L.N. Tolstoj.  She is a
 professor at Tul'skij
Gosudarstvennyj  Pedagogicheskij Universitet imeni L'va Tolstogo, where they
 have a Tolstoj
Studies Center.  Jasnaja poljana, of course, is on the outskirts of Tula.
 Professor Elena Meleshko
is the author of a monograph on Tolstoj's philosophy and is interested in
 contacting other Tolstoj
scholars, especially in the Northeast US.  Beyond philosophy, she is interested
 in all facets of
Tolstoj's creative activity.  She has expressed a desire to visit Vassar College
 for Tolstoj
correspondence held there, to visit E. Balou's monument in Hopedale MA (I'm
 unfamiliar with this),
to talk w/ Robert Whittaker of CUNY, and to get acquainted with the Tolstoj
 Foundation.    I would
be grateful if any members of the SEELANGS list could recommend further
 appropriate contacts
for her, and/or could give me up-to-date contact info for the items mentioned
 above....  I also recall
a Tolstoj Home Page on the Net being announced, but cannot retrieve the URL.
 Are there other
scholars she should see?  All advice gratefully received.  Many thanks in
 advance.

From N.Bermel at sheffield.ac.uk  Fri Feb 27 14:26:33 1998

Date: Fri, 27 Feb 1998 14:26:33 +0000
Subject: Summary:  Russian, Czech, Polish CD-ROM dictionaries
Message-ID: <FRI.27.FEB.1998.142633.0000.>

Dear colleagues,

I apologize for taking so long in posting this summary.  I'd like to
thank all those who responded with information about Russian, Czech
and Polish dictionaries available on CD-ROM:

Andrew Jameson
David Goldfarb
Elena Levintova
Josef Fronek
Jo Porritt
Nenad Koncar
Ray Thomas
Roy Bivon
Slava Paperno
...and the staff of several bookstores and dealers.

Some general information about CD-ROMs that I've acquired in the last
few weeks:

To network a dictionary, you need to decide how many users you're
likely to have at any one time.  (If you're just installing it on one
computer, you don't need to worry about this.)  Licences for CD-ROMs
generally come in below the cost of the first dictionary, but not by much.
In other words, if the dictionary costs x pounds, then each additional
licence will cost .75x pounds.  Some places will only sell licences
in set increments:  5, 10, 20, etc.  This means it may be worth it to
purchase 2 separate CD-ROMs instead of 1 CD-ROM with 5 licences.

Our Arts Faculty Librarian here at Sheffield, Jacky Hodgson, has
informed me that for other, more heavily trafficked languages, such
as French and Spanish, they have found 3 licences to be adequate.

Another issue is operating system compatibility.  Some dictionaries
essentially treat the dictionary entries as 'pictures'.  This limits
search capability but increases compatibility.  Full text entries
increases searchability but raises the problem of operating systems.
Any information I have on operating system compatibility is given
below.

Not all dictionaries are Macintosh-compatible.  The OUP Russian
dictionary mentioned below apparently is.  So is a Czech translating
dictionary called Krtek mentioned below.

Andrew Jameson pointed me in a few interesting directions:

'You might like to consider joining the russian-teaching mailbase of
which I'm the listholder.

To join, send the command
join russian-teaching your name
to    mailbase at mailbase.ac.uk '

He also pointed me to Jo Porritt at Hull University, who forwarded
information on their CTI Centre for Modern Languages.  It has a
list of language software at:

RUSSIAN

Elena Levintova wrote:

I've been using Delta Lingotronics English-Russian Dictionary and I
think it is an incredible value for the price ($25, incl. shipping).
The user interface is very-very simple. In its contents it is very
much like "Bolshoi" Galperin's Dictionary, but quite frequently I find
there some entries I couldn't find in my Galperin. It can be purchased
by sending a $25 check to Delta Lingotronics, Inc. P.O. Box 1227,
Monterey, CA 93942, Ph.#(408)626-1877, FAX (408)647-1412.

Ray Thomas suggested:

I use Lingvo 4.5 for Russian.   My version is on floppies,
and is very useful for learning at all  levels,  because
it is memory resident and so can be used onscreen
along with a word processor.     Lingvo requires
Cyrillic support.    We got a copy through Sirin
in London - who seem to be expanding and have
a big online catalogue.

Lingvo has specialist modules.  The general modules
for English/Russian and Russian/English are not as
detailed as the Oxford Russian dictionary which is
now available on CD-ROM.   But I don't remember
seeing a memory-resident facility being advertised.

Roy Bivon seconded some of this information:

1) OUP have produced a CD rom version of their large E-R and R-e =
dictionary

2) A Russian company called Multilex have produced on CD
rom a version = of a three volume E-R dicitonary firsdt published in
book form in 1993. = This is excellent and allows comprehensive
searching of both Russian and = English words. There is an importer in
London for Russian software: = Sirin Software, phone 0171 629 1910.


Neil Bermel adds:  The Oxford dictionary is now available; you can
find it at the OUP web site (http://www.oup.co.uk/).  This is what
we've decided to trial here at Sheffield.

Slava Paperno suggested the following web site:

http://lexiconbridge.com
Especially the Dictionary of the Human Body.


Nenad Koncar passes on some information about translation CD-ROMs:

You can find some very nice CD-ROM translation software called
Word Translator for Russian, Czech and Polish all on one single CD-ROM
by visiting Translation Experts at:

http://www.tranexp.com

There is even an on-line version of the software called InterTran that
will include Russian, Czech and Polish in the near future and it can
be found at:

http://www.tranexp.com/win/dict/InterTran.cgi


CZECH

There are three major dictionaries.  The old English-Czech
dictionary by Hodek & Hais has been converted into a bilingual
CD-ROM.  Josef Fronek's dictionaries (Czech-English and
English-Czech) are available as separate items.  More information on
the Leda web site:  www.leda.cz.

Josef Fronek forwarded the following information from the Thornton's

Neil Bermel says:

I investigated independently and found that many of these items can
be ordered directly through the publisher or via other dealers, such
as Regula Pragensis (regula.pragensis at ecn.cz) .  List prices are
substantially lower (30-50%), but I don't know how they compare with
Thornton's in terms of service.

Leda, the publisher of Fronek's dictionaries, says that the CD-ROM
versions have certain limitations if your machine does not run a Czech
operating system. I am currently awaiting clarification as to what
those limitations are.

There is a Macintosh-compatible E-C, C-E dictionary called Krtek,
available from Studio Cmyk, Tovarni 15, Ostrava-Mar. Hory 709 00 CR.
Tel. in Czech Republic: 069 662 00 93, 069 662 00 95, fax 069 662
0096.  Krtek is small and cheap (1500Kc, or about 30 GBP), but is a
bit hard to use if you don't run the Czech operating system.  (It is
totally useless without the standard CE fonts, which are not
included but can probably be obtained elsewhere gratis, perhaps from
Apple's web site.)  I would judge Krtek not suitable for students;
it's mainly of interest to advanced learners who need a 'prompt' more
than a full definition or explanation.

I highly recommend the Doroszewski Polish dictionary on CD-ROM
published by PWN.  The Doroszewski is the Polish equivalent of the
OED, and it used to be very difficult to purchase all 11 volumes at
once.  The CD contains the full text of the dictionary in graphic
format and only costs about $60 US.  Since it is in graphic format,
searching is limited to headwords, but nonetheless, it is great to
have the whole thing at a low price on CD.

PWN also publishes a CD-ROM version of their standard three-volume
dictionary combined with another Polish dictionary, which looks good,
but I haven't used it myself yet.  It is a bit more expensive than the
Doroszewski, but it has more sophisticated search tools, since the
dictionary is in text database format.

Once again, thanks to everyone for their suggestions and comments.
I'm sorry I didn't respond individually to each of you, but there
was a fair amount of mail and a lot of leads to follow up!

The AATSEEL Intensive Programs Page, which lists language study programs
for Slavic and East European Languages in the U.S. and abroad for both
summer and semester/year, has been recently revised and all listings
checked for accuracy.  The address is at the end of this message.

Submissions of links for the page are accepted at any time, and are posted
as received.  We particularly lack programs in the Baltic languages and
Albanian, while many of the Central Asian languages only have one program
listed.  If your institution or organization offers open instruction in any
of these languages, please contact me at the address below.

I urge programs to notify me when there is a change in your address (URL).
Since checks of every link do not occur very often, if an address is wrong
you may be losing a potential customer.  Often programs title their pages
"Summer98.html"; when the address is changed at your site, the link on the
page must also be updated.

Programs should be aware that the greatest period of activity for the page
is in late August and early September; try to have new information for
1998-1999 posted on your sites or me by early August to ensure that
prospective students and other interested parties see only your current
offerings, and not a year-old prospectus.

The hits on this page are measured in the thousands--we urge you to take
advantage of the free advertising  available by listing your program under
the appropriate language heading.

A final note--programs for this summer should already be linked--if your
program is not, please send me the URL as soon as possible.

Subject: good books on Russian orthography?
Message-ID: <SAT.28.FEB.1998.130349.0900.>

Hello,
I am at the moment editing a book published in 1929 in Lenigrad and
am wondering how I could possibly decide the right spelling at that
time. The only reference I have at hand is Slovar' Russkogo Jazyka by
Ushakov, but I am not sure whether Ushakov is "right". Are there good
books that I can determine the "correct" spelling as of 1929? The
spelling  in question are:

          vse-ravno(vse ravno), zoloto-serebrenikov(zolotoserebrenikov),
          karandashem(karandashom), na-avos'(na avos'), na-net (na net),
          nemenee(ne menee), nemogushchee(ne mogushchee),
          nenormal'nostjakh (ne normal'nostjakh),
          nepokushaemsja(ne pokushaemsja), poka-chto(poka chto),
          rezko-otricatel'no(rezko otricatel'no),
          tol'ko-chto(tol'ko chto), khozhjajnichanie(khozjajnichan'e),
          Gel'singforskij (gel'singforsskij)
The spelling in brackets looks right according to Ushakov.
I am asking all this because I want to know whether I will be changing
oldish spelling to the contemporary, or just correcting typographic errors.

In connection with "gel'singforskij", I understand "odesskij" is correct,
because "odessskij" would be unnatural in the sense that Germans do not do so.
But has any of you seen word division like odess-skij, melekess-skij,
talass-skij, vann-nyj, pjatitonn-nyj,ras-ssorit'ja? My theory on Russian
hyphenation rules is based on the assumption that Russsians learnt the
art from the Germans, hence I need evidence of "odess-
kij". I don't think it least probable that you would find evidence from
very new publications (i.e. after 1918) for this.

Cheers,
Tsuji
