We are doing a research on English loanwords in Chinese mandarin.  We
are building a massive corpora so we would appreciated your help.  If
you are aware of any existing corpora, please let us know.

Thank you.

Subject:  Non-coronals Deletion before Affixes

I am currently working on the grammar of a language (Dhaasanac, East
Cushitic; Ethiopia) which has a rule deleting non-coronals before ALL
affixes. E.g., in verbs, non-coronals are allowed in the imperative
singular positive (i.e., the bare stem), but are dropped in all other
paradigm forms. Does anyone know of other languages displaying a
similar rule?

Thanks,
Mauro Tosco

I have recently received the following request for information from
the International Centre for Pedagogical Studies.  Can anybody help?
If so, please reply to Jean-Marc CARE <poletti at ciep.fr>, copying to
the list if appropriate.

Subject:  Gumperz Video

I'm trying to get a hold of a copy of video done by Gumperz in the
1970s I believe.  The title of it is "Crosstalk."  Does anyone have
information as to how I can obtain a copy of this video?

Thanks in advance,

Laura Hartley
