Subject: optimality theory: Manam & Murinbata

I am looking for the ranking metrical constraints (in optimality theory) of
the stress patterns in Manam en Murinbata. Given these next words.

Manam:
'pa.tu
si.'na.ba
ta.'nep.wa
'ma.la.'bon
'em.be.pi
ta.'nep.wa.'ti.na

Mutinbata:
'ba
'mam.ne
'la.ma.'la
'wa.lu.'mu.ma
'pe.re.'we.re.'ten


Who knows where (on the internet) there is something to be found on this
matter?

Message 2: presuppositions in Russian

Subject: presuppositions in Russian

Dear colleagues!

My name is Olga Vybornova. I study in Moscow Linguistic University,
Russia. The subject of my thesis is
"Presuppositional component of communication and its applied modeling".
I would very much like to get in touch with Russian linguists who are
interested in the subject of presuppositions. If somebody could
recommend me some books in Russian written in 1998-2001 (I am especially
interested in classification of presuppositions in Ruissian), I would
really appreciate it.
I am looking forward to mutually useful cooperation.

Olga Vybornova
