Greetings!

I'm seeking a resource to assist in locating second-hand or remaindered
issues of academic journals--is anybody aware of such a resource?
Principally, I want back issues of Sign Language Studies and the MLJ for a
library project. Any leads would be much appreciated!

Best,

Jason E. Zinza

Dear linguist fellows,

Final devoicing (FD) and Closed syllable shortening (CSS) are two
well-known phonological processes. I am currently working on the way these
processes may interact, in particular on the possible relationship between
FD and *final* CSS (i.e., CVVC --> CVC /_#).

I know of languages : (a) lacking both FD and CSS, (b) having both FD and
CSS, and (c) having FD but not CSS. My question is the following : is the
fourth possible case attested? Do you know of languages showing CSS but not
FD? (Of course, all the languages considered here must have both voice and
length contrasts!)

Thank you very much in advance for any information. I will post a summary
of the responses.
