Subject:  HyperLex: Virtual Fieldwork Online

The HyperLex is a web search engine for quantitative phonological
research.  Using HyperLex, you can:

* learn about linguistic fieldwork
  - interact with live field data, including thousands of speech clips
* introduce yourself to computational phonology
  - learn how to use computational methods in phonology
* research the phonology, phonetics and tone of Bamileke Dschang
  - this is a Grassfields Bantu language of Cameroon, interesting
    for its syllable structure and tone system

HyperLex can be run over the web and includes an interactive tutorial.
It can be accessed at: http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/hyperlex

I am planning to give live demonstrations of HyperLex at the upcoming
LSA meeting in New York.  For details, please watch the HyperLex page.

CONFLICT ABOUT JOURNAL TEXT

Due to a conflict with publisher Mouton-De Gruyter (about reduced
accessibility of the journal due to high subscription rates and
lacking investments in publicity), large part of the board will
resign with me, as from Volume 18 (1988).

De Gruyter director Dr. Cram decided not to publish my Editorial
about this matter.

Those interested in our reasons to resign, and in the text of the
censored Editorial, are welcome to download it from my www-homepage,
and to forward it to others who may be interested in this matter.
