Phonetics texts (Sorbian negated PPs)

[Loren A. Billings]

Thanks to the following people for responding to my query about textbooks in
Russian phonetics/pronunciation for native Anglophones:

Sarah Hayer (S. Illinois U.)
Natasha Medvedeva (Rutgers U.) [via David Freedel (Princeton U.)]
Matthew Tittle (U. Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)
Gary Toops (Wichita State U.)
George Fowler (Indiana U.)

(I also recall that Larry Richter, also of Indiana, wrote, but can't seem to
find his message at the moment.)

The general consensus is that Hamilton's _Introduction to Russian phonology
and word structure_ (Slavica, 1980) and Bryzgunova's _Zvuki i intonatsiia
russkoi rechi_ (Russkij jazyk, 1978), if used together, do the trick.  I was
kind of hoping for something more tailor-made for such a pronunciation class.

George Fowler did mention a pamphlet by John Glad.  As it so happens, I sat
in on Glad's phonetics/pronunciation course at U. Maryland as an M.A. student
and only recall using Avanesov's _Russkoe literaturnoe proiznoshenie_
(approximate title).  Any more info on Glad's materials would be appreciated.
I found his course very practical and useful and would love to do the same
type of thing.

Regarding negated PPs in Sorbian:  Gary Toops informs me that both Upper and
Lower Sorbian have the order P _ni_ interrogative, like Czech, Slovak and
Polish and unlike East Slavic.  My colleague here at Florida State U., Herman
James, confirms this.  Thanks to these kind souls as well.

Sincerely,
Loren Billings
