Subject:  Georg Schwidetzky (again)

Several years ago, I posted an inquiry to the Linguist list about Georg
Schwidetzky and the "Institut für Tier- und Ursprachenforschung" in Germany
(1930's and 1940's). A reader was kind enough to provide me with some
historical background material, and copies of some of the papers from this
Institute that I didn't already have access to. Unfortunately, I've lost the
email archive where I saved the electronic part of that information. I'd be
very grateful if that person (or anyone else) could refresh my memory about
any of the circumstances surrounding Schwidetzky, his work, his organization,
and its place in Nazi-era German science.

Thanks very much for any help,

hi everyone,

I've submitted a posting earlier this year (mid-march) asking if anyone
knew a good database to get children's speech data. Well, thank to the
help of so many nice people here at linguistlist, I received very useful
weblinks to various webpages with kids data. I found a page that had a
lot of data to download and analyze and perfectly fitted my topic, but
unfortunately my computer's harddisk had a problem - so I lost most of
its data including the weblink to that one homepage. Of course, now I
can't remember the name of it again, and all my attempts to find it
again failed. I only know it wasn't "childes"-database. other
information I could provide are some of the files I've already
downloaded: c1-w2jul97; c1-m19may97. if anyone recognizes these type of
files and knows where they are from - I'd be so happy.

thanks in advance...

chris
