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

The MA students in our Syntax I and Phonology I will have iPads to use 
in their courses this semester. They'll be using them to read papers for 
the course that are available in PDF format, but we would like to make 
even better use of the technology if possible.  It seems to me that the 
iPad touch interface could be used to create Apps for doing things like 
constructing trees, reordering and testing OT constraints and things 
like that.  In my searches thus far, I haven't found any such Apps, so I'm 
turning to this list: does anyone know of Apps for the iPad created 
specifically to do or teach linguistics?  Does anyone have experience 
using more general iPad Apps to do things that could be useful in an 
introductory syntax or phonology course?  I will of course compile a list 
of any resources I hear about and repost it to the list.

thanks and best,
Tom McFadden
