contact for Frantisek William Galan

[Angelina Ilieva]

Yes, my apologies for posting a duplicate request - I did not realize he had posted his question already.
Thank you for taking the time to respond, both to this and Manu's initial query.

All the best,
Angelina

To avoid any duplication - I contacted Manu Shetty offlist after his first posting of this query on 20 March, as I am based at the University of Birmingham. I have been through the Nikolai Bakhtin archive in our library and there is no trace (or mention) of this lecture. Bakhtin was not a professor - he was the only member of the linguistics department and is usually referred to as lecturer.
As Mark Konecny pointed out (20th March) in reply to this first post Galan died some years ago.
It is clear from the Poetics Today article that Galan had access to a full copy of this lecture when he was writing. It would be useful to know what happened to his papers after his death. If the lecture can be traced Birmingham University would be very interested in obtaining a copy.
Hope this helps.

Dear SEELANGERS,

I am posting this request for a friend, please reply off list to Manu Shetty [shetty.manu at gmail.com]

 I am trying to contact Frantisek William Galan, a scholar of Slavic Linguistics. He had published a book: Historic Structures: the Prague Linguistic Project, 1928-1946, University of Texas Press, Austin, 1984. In this book he is listed as being at UT Austin. And also an essay in Poetics Today, Vol. 8, No. 3/4 (1987) entitled, Bakhtiniada Part II: The Corsican Brothers in the Prague School, or the Reciprocity of Reception, where his affiliation is listed as Georgia Institute of Technology.
In the latter essay,on Nikolai Bakhtin, he quotes from Nikolai Bakhtin's unpublished Inaugural lecture as Professor of Linguistics at University of Birmingham in May of 1947. I need to read this lecture, and hence want to contact him to ask him whether he would give me a copy of it.

Thanks to all in advance,
Angelina
