Subject:  Question for French speakers

In English one can distinguish two different placements of an adverb
with two different readings:

(1) The conflict is not clearly an international problem.  "Perhaps
the conflict is an international problem, perhaps it is not an
international problem; whether it is an international problem or not
is not clear."

(2) The conflict is clearly not an international problem.  "The
conflict is not an international problem. That is clear."

In French, does

(3) Le conflit n'est clairement pas un probl=E8me international.  have
the meaning of (1) or (2) or both? Are there other possible placements
of _clairement_ which would have a meaning differing from that of (3)?

Thank you in advance for all help.

Subject:  poetry and translation in China

I am an Italian translator. My languages are Chinese and Russian.  I
am interested in Chinese poetry and in the Chinese school of theory of
translation.  I would like to translate and to study MO FEI's
poems. This is a "new" Chinese poet, who belongs to the so called
"menglong poetry".

Who can help me to find materials on this poet?

Thank You

Yours Faithfully

Paolo Galvagni, Bologna, Italy

Dear Colleagues, I'm forwarding the following request regarding a
native speaker of Bannock who is teaching that language and seeking
help in rendering Bannock words phonetically (to be shared with
students in a study guide).

See below, and respond to Jim Barta by email, or to the Bannock
speaker, Eloise Little, by phone or fax.

thx!
