<HTML><BODY STYLE="font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV>Hi,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hope everyone is enjoying the LSA conference. Wish I could have been there, but the budget is VERY tight right now! Hopefully I'll at least get to the Siouan conference in August! </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've been looking at a copy of the <FONT color=#ff0000><STRONG>Winnebago Grammar </STRONG></FONT>by William Lipkind given to me by John B. Now I'm wondering if there is any way to get a copy of Kenneth Miner's unpublished <FONT color=#ff0000><STRONG>Winnebago Field Lexicon </STRONG></FONT>from 1984. (John K.--You mentioned this in your paper "Winnebago Vowel Length in Diachronic Perspective" of 1986.) I'm also wondering if there are any Winnebago recordings which I might be able to get a copy of. (I notice there are a lot of nasal vowels in Winnebago; I'd like to get some idea of what the language sounds like, if possible, short of finding a native speaker--probably not easy in California.) I understand there is also some question of tone in Winnebago. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions???</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Happy New Year!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dave<BR><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
