Dear All


	I am puting together a list of phonologists interested in the
Declarative Phonology (DP) framework. This list would be available on the
SIGPHON web page and, the editors permiting, on the links page of LINGUIST.
The idea behind this list is to permit contacts and exchanges between
phonologists interested in this framework.

	If you would be interested, or know anyone who would, of having
your name in such a list please contact me at :
theriaal at magellan.umontreal.ca.

	This list would mainly be a list of addresses available to those
interested in DP. It could also be used as some kind of newsletter for
general informations. Such a newsletter would be moderated in order to
lower the risks of spaming.

Thanks to you all

	As of next week all of Ergo Linguistics Tools including the newest "Roswell
	Teaches
	English"  will change from free software to paid software.  Those of you
	would like to
	work with these tools for free should download them before October 15th.
	You can
	get to the site at http://www.ergo-ling.com.
	
	These software products will be kept on the ergo server but will be
	distributed and
	advertised more widely and will no longer be offered for free.  We are
	making this
	last time free offer for researchers and students of NLP and theoretical
	linguistics.
	
	All programs are written in C++ have programmer SDK's available upon request
	are Windows 95/98/NT compatible.
	
	
	The programs include:
	
	MemoMaster -- An add on for speech recognition products that significantly
	increases
	the navigation and control abilities of those products as well as adding more
	sophisticated messaging and reminders and notes.
	
	BracketDoctor -- A program for linguists which provides tree diagrams and
	labelled
	bracketings for sentences in the Penn Treebank II style.  Great for
	students who
	would like to include computer generated trees in their papers using this
	standardized
	framework.
	
	ChatterBox -- A product that provides sophisticated question and answer
	abilities
	that are easily added to animations (e.g Microsoft Agents) and are useful for
	educational and entertainment programs.
	
	Roswell Teaches English  -- A stand alone product to help students of English
	as a Second Language practice their English using natural language questions
	and responses.  Includes a manual and textbook.
