FYI Body:

Members of LINGUIST might find http://www.getCITED.org of interest. It's a site tha some colleagues and I have put together that, in essence, is yet another academic database, albeit one that can be searched in a wide variety of ways. What makes this one different is that it allows the academic community to enter in and edit its contents. Thus, researchers can enter in the citation details of their publications (and others' publications) and then link these to a public identity that they create. They can also link references, faculties, universities and the like, with the result being a rich web of academic information. The site's been up and running in beta version for about a year now, and was initially seeded with data from the Library of Congress. If people have any questions, they can send them my way. Best regards, Michael K. Mauws, Ph.D. http://www.getCITED.org/mbrz/99999999 I would like to contact generative linguists who are native or near-native speakers of Spanish and who work or will be working in or around Medellin, Colombia. We are trying to set up a training program for teachers of deaf students and we need to be able to give them a course in generative grammar as part of the training. If anyone is interested in helping us, please contact me, Marianna Pool at mpool@colmex.mx, where I will be happy to explain what is going on.
