Please disseminate the following message as widely as
possible. Thank you.
The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the
October 1, 1996, deadline for the Summer Stipends program.
NEH Summer Stipends support two months of full-time work on
projects that will contribute to scholarly knowledge or to
the general public's understanding of the humanities.
Projects may address broad topics or consist of research and
study in a single field.
In most cases, faculty members of colleges and universities
in the United States must be nominated by their institutions
for the Summer Stipends competition, and each of these
institutions may nominate two applicants. Prospective
applicants who will require nomination should acquaint
themselves with their institution's nomination procedures
well before the October 1 deadline. Individuals employed in
nonteaching capacities in colleges and universities and
individuals not affiliated with colleges and universities do
not require nomination and may apply directly to the
program.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: October 1, 1996
TENURE: Tenure must cover two full and uninterrupted months
and will normally be held between May1, 1997, and September
30, 1997.
STIPEND: $4,000

Subject: Hyptertext Dissertation on the Web
Dear colleagues,
I have recently completed the main part of ``LAYERS in the determiner
phrase'', an hypertext document based on my Ph.D. dissertation in
linguistics at the University of Rochester; it is located on the
World-Wide Web, at the address:
http://www.ling.rochester.edu/~roberto/layers/intro.html
LAYERS is a experimental project on how to cast a fairly large piece
of linguistics work into hypertext form on the Web, taking advantage
of various features of the format, (as opposed to just placing <PRE>
... </PRE> around a text originally designed for paper
publication). Some of its features are pop-up references, maps,
data-analysis distinction, individual feedback from each page, support
for both graphic and non-graphic browsers (e.g. Lynx).
The work outlines a general theory of the syntax/semantics interface
within the noun phrase, assuming a broad GB framework. It also discusses
copular constructions, quantifier raising and extraction from
predicates.
This project has been inspired by the idea that the WWW has a great
potential for doing scientific research and disseminating its results,
which is not fully tapped, and that linguistics is in a sense an ideal
discipline for making use of the web's possibilities. See the section
"On doing linguistics on the WWW".
Comments on form and content are highly appreciated, as are pointers to
similar work on the net. To see the hypertext:
a) With LYNX: from the prompt, give:
lynx http://www.ling.rochester.edu/~roberto/layers/intro.html
(remember to select "NON-graphic browser" from the intro page!)
b) With Netscape: open the FILE menu, the GOTO LOCATION, and type in the
URL address.
Enjoy!
