Subject:  Bilingualism and identity

I am a student at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia,
researching the subject of bilingualism and identity. At the moment I
am compiling a reading list for my Honours thesis and would be
grateful for information on relevant publications and/or contacts with
others working on this topic.

With kind regards,
Brigitte Lambert

Subject:  r-lessness in American Dialects

Dear Sir/Madam;

My name is Yukiko Yoshino.  I'm currently a senior undergraduate at
Miyazaki Municipal University in Japan.

I am studying Dialects of American English in order to write
graduation thesis which title is "Regional distribution of r-lessness
in American English"

However, I have difficulty in finding the articles about this area,
because I live in Japan.  I want to investigate the regional
distribution of a phonetic feature - a postvocalic /r/ in terms of
historical development.

Would you tell me some articles as to these fields ?

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely Yours,

Yukiko Yoshino
