There is a new search engine company (start up phase) called "Thrownet" at
http://www.thrownet.com which is advertising for linguists and
computational linguists who can provide a one question one response
functionality for a search engine front end. Does anyone know what
technologies they are using (if this is public information)? The last I
heard they were looking at the Franklin parser out of New Jersey. For
those of you who are interested they seem to be offering a lot of jobs.

For those who are teaching a course in LFG or an "alternative"
introduction to formal syntax at the graduate/advanced undergraduate
level, I am making a pre-final draft of my new book
_Lexical-Functional Syntax_ available at my website for a short time
prior to publication by Blackwell (Fall 2000):
