Subject:  English for Specific Purposes bibliography

Hi,
I am doing my MA thesis in the area of applied linguistics but I am having
difficulties in finding the literature that I need.
Does anyone have any references on acquisition of English for Specific
Purposes?
Any publications related to multimedia exercises, systems and applications
used for language acquisition as well as any papers related to English for
Specific Purposes are more than welcome.

To The Readers,

I am currently in the process of doing research for several grants dealing
with intelligent tutoring systems. Tutorial Agent technology is well known
among both theoretical linguists and computational linguists as technology
that requires a background in one or more of the following areas: syntax,
semantics, pragmatics and more.  It is a good area of research and a good
area for jobs for both theoretical and computational linguists.  I have a
long list of sources that I have found related to intelligent tutoring
systems which can be obtained by any interested parties via personal
correspondence with me.  I was wondering if anyone could point me towards
any current literature on this subject?  Any help is appreciated.
						Sincerely,

Subject:   Phonological and grammatical words

We are studying languages for which it is appropriate to establish separate
units of phonological word and grammatical word.  These sometimes coincide
but do not always do so. Can you direct us to reliable descriptions of
languages which recognise these two types of word, with explicit criteria?

Thanks in advance
