Subject:  Website - Language Varieties

Dear colleagues,


The renovated Language Varieties website has moved to
http://www.une.edu.au/langnet .
Its aim is to provide accessible information to non-linguists
(especially teachers and students) about pidgins, creoles, minority
dialects, regional dialects and indigenized varieties. (So an attempt
as been made to keep it uncomplicated in both content and design.) The
site contains definitions, tips for using such varieties in the
classroom, references and links to other sites. At present, it includes
descriptions of Hawai`i Creole English, African American (Vernacular)
English, Aboriginal English, Singlish (Singapore Colloquial English),
Bislama, Tok Pisin and Kamtok (Cameroon Pidgin). [Coming soon: Jamaican
Creole, Tayo and Geordie (Newcastle English),]. If anyone is interested
in contributing a short description of another variety, please contact
me. Also, any comments or suggestions for improvements would be
welcome.

Subject:  New Website - Iranian Linguistics

Friends and Colleagues,

We are proud to announce a new website dedicated to the study
of Iranian languages. The Forum for Iranian Linguistics is designed
to provide resources for the theoretical and computational study
of the Iranian languages with emphasis on Persian. It includes a
bibliography of papers, dissertations and books published on Iranian
Linguistics, as well as unpublished material on the subject. It also
contains links to researchers and institutions working on Iranian
languages.

The site can be accessed through the following URL:
	http://www-scf.usc.edu/~megerdoo/persian/index.html

You are invited to submit your work to be included on the archive
and to help develop this website. We hope that this site will enhance
communication between researchers and will facilitate the
distribution of current work on Iranian languages.

Sincerely,

Simin Karimi - University of Arizona
Karine Megerdoomian - University of Southern California
