I will be teaching an introductory discourse analysis course soon and
have not seen an appropriate textbook other than Brown and Yule's 1983
_Discourse Analysis_.  Am I missing something?  Surely there should be
something newer out?  Send suggestions e-mail to:

Thanks for any help you can give.

Subject: 'spontaneous' speech - corrected
 
Dear colleagues,
 
I'm conducting a poll about definitions of 'spontaneous speech' in
Linguistics.
This term is now currently used in Phonetics, and it has been applied to
Sociolinguistics (Labov: Sociolinguistic Patterns, 1972) and
Psycholinguistics (Goldman-Eisler: Psycholinguistics: Experiments in
Spontaneous Speech, 1968)
I would be grateful to anyone who can answer the following questions, and
make comments related to the matter:
 
1. What does 'spontaneous speech' mean for you? Please give a short
definition.
2. Do you use this term in your research or academic work? Why?
3. Any comments?
 
Your help would be a valuable contribution to my Ph.D.
Please reply directly to my address:
jc0zsuzsa at aol.com
 
If any interest, I'll post a summary about the results of the poll.
 
Thanks:
Susan

 I wonder whether there is a list or a newsgroup on the net dealing with the
 didactics of linguistics ("knowledge about language") for primary and
 secondary school. If not I would very much like to get in touch with people
 who take an interest in these matters.

Dear all,
 
         has anyone studied or systematically recorded what people actually
produce when they "speak in tongues" -- at revival meetings and such
occasions? A friend of mine noted that the sounds produced tend to sound
remarkably alike each other.
