Daniel L. Everett

FYI Body:

For those interested in playing some music with us at the LSA (guitars, voice, and other nonelectric instruments), I have a room for the event. If you are coming, contact me via the Sheraton front desk. We start jamming at 630PM and will go to about 830. Then we have plenty of time to go hear some electric, Chicago blues. - Dan Evere ****************************** ****************************** Dan Evere Department of Linguistics University of Pittsburgh 2816 CL Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Phone: 412-624-8101; Fax: 412-624-6130 http://www.linguistics.pitt.edu/~dever The second lecture in my course on the World Wide Web called "Critical Semiotics" is now online.
