Subject:   Buying books about contrastive linguistics

I am an Italian student and I'm writing a thesis about the contrastive =
analysys between English and German.
 I have found a  complete bibliography on this subject but I don't know =
how to buy the books that could be useful for my thesis: they are =
written by linguists such as Hartmann, Abraham, Asbach-Schnitker, =
Burgschmidt, Delattre, Doherty, Hawkins, Kirkwood, Konig, Nehls and =
Stein.I have written a lot of e-mails to the editors of many books on =
linguistics without any results as contrastive linguistics is not so =
well known. If you have any information about where to buy these books, =
please contact me; my e-mail address is cristinafranco at tiscalinet.it.
I thank you in advance. Yours faithfully,
Cristina Franco

Subject:  Language and Social Networks

Hello,

I'm a cultural studies student and I'm writing an essay on the influence of
social networks on language change. The only - and the most recent - source
I found was the work done by Lesley Milroy on a study in Belfast (GB) in the
late 1970s. I'm still looking for newer publications - without succeeding so
far. Can anybody give me any useful hints?

Regards,

Dominic Busch
