================================================================  

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.

Hello

I've been advised to contact you by my lecturer.

Myself and two colleagues are in the process of researching an
undergraduate essay on the variances of nasal vowel pronunciation in spoken
French across different regions of France.

The essay is a literary review therefore can anybody offer any
texts/authors on the subject that would be useful to analyze for the essay? 

We already have texts by: Delattre, Delvaux, Hansen, Neve. Morin and Walter
and have been advised by our lecturer to post a query to see if anybody
could suggest any further reading that would help in our analysis.

Many Thanks

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
