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:  The language of human rights

Dear List Members

I am looking for articles, books, thesis... (in any language, but
preferably English, French, Spanish... or Arabic) dealing with the
language of human rights.  I have looked here an there on the Internet
but I have found almost NOTHING to my surprise.

Any indication would be very very helpful.

I am interested in the "linguistic" and in the "philosophical" aspects of the
subject, mainly :  terminology, discourse, translation...  and anything else
you can indicate.

Many thanks in anticipation

Subject:  geminates and ejectives

There are languages with geminate consonants, such as Italian and
Japanese.  There are languages with ejective consonants, such as
Armenian and Quechua.  Are there any languages which have both
geminate consonants and ejective consonants?  This question is not
about geminate ejectives, but whether there is a language with any
geminate consonants and, in addition, any ejective consonants.  I
suspect that there are no languages having both ejectives and
geminates, but I don't know for sure.  I will post a summary of any
responses.
