JOB Announcement

[Carol Myers-Scotton]

dear willaim beeman,
(Is it bill or what?  sorry, I've forgotten)
we last corresponded when you were in Tajikestan and I thought you were
in Iran.
You sent me (by email) a chapter from your book.  I am sorry to say it
is still sitting unread; I saw it the other day and thought about
reading it and getting in touch with you.  But I am so-o-o busy!  What I
am doing?  Trying towrite a textbook on bilingualism (upper level
undergrad).  I thought my more theoretical book was hard to write, but
this is awful!  Trying to be comprehensive is killing me.  I am way
behind on the deadline(Blackwell).
I wondered if your book has been published.  If so, please give me
details.
My "Contact Linguistics" book is out and you may be interested,
although it's pretty much just on the grammatical side of things.
I am due to retire from here in May (hard to believe, but I agreed to
it several years ago with a good retirement package, but also, of
course, then I had much more money of my own--in the stock market--and
don't have it now).
I am going to teach a course on contact linguistics at the LSa summer
institute.  But otherwise, I may not teach at all.  I just don't know at
this point.  I definitely will keep doing some scholarship.
At any rate, I saw your job ad and thought of you and just wanted to
write to say hello.  Please send me details about your book and I may
well buy it.
regards, carol ms
