References and offprints in Germanic etymology needed

Vladimir Orel (Bar-Ilan University) is currently working on a "Handbook of
Germanic etymology (Proto-Germanic Vocabulary)" and will appreciate any
biblio references or offprints related to the field of Germanic etymology
and historical grammar.

I am interested in the history of punctuation, especially the origin and
development of quotation marks, but the literature I have looked at so far
is not very helpful. I would be grateful for any references on this subject.

Dear all,

I'm a doctoral student at the English Department, G�teborg University,
Sweden who is hunting for a report on error analysis by J Arabski. My
doctoral thesis is about error analysis based on composition material. I
have tried the university library here but they couldn't find anything with
a title matching my reference. Instead they found this e-mail address and
information that Dr Arabski could possibly be located through this address.
My question is if it is possible to find out anything more to add to my
reference in order for my library to find and order the report (or paper)
since I need it for my research in error analysis. The reference I have now
is

Arabski, J (1979) "Errors as indicators of the development of
interlanguage" Katowice: Uniwersytet Slasky

In the library they tell me it is not possible to locate this and they
suggested it is not the real title or that it is a special series printed
only for the university itself. I have tried the e-mail the librarians gave
me but so far nothing's come up. If anyone out there might have additional
information to this reference I'd be very grateful. I already have Dr
Arabski's paper from 1968 but generally his work form 1979 is quoted only
the reference in all my lists do not seem to help me find it.
Please send any info directly to me at this e-mail address:

Thanks in advance,
Pia K
