We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject:  Q: Language with NO surface glides


Dear linguists,

I'm looking for languages that do not have surface glides.  In
particular, I'd like to find languages that have hiatus with high
vowels--preferably something like taioka or atia, where gliding to
tajoka/atja is not allowed. If the language appears to have this, but
it depends on rate of speech, I would also be interested in that.

If you know of such a language (and also a reference) I would
appreciate hearing about it. (I will post a summary if people are
interested).

Many thanks,
Susannah Levi

For an upcoming undergraduate course in historical linguistics, I
would like to expose my students to a variety of influential articles
of the field.  Ideal articles would be relatively short,
self-contained, and accessible to young scholars who don't necessarily
have much background yet.  One example would be Labov (1963) 'The
Social Motivation of a Sound Change.'  Suggestions of additional
examples would be warmly received.  A summary, naturally, shall be
posted.

Thank you,
