Subject: Syntax and Semantics for undergrad/grad students

Dear colleagues:

I have taught a graduate course Structure of English: Syntax and
semantics using R. Jakobs' English Syntax: A grammar for English
language professionals. This course will include both grad and
undergrad students next semester. Would any of you recommend another
text also appropriate for undergraduate students? I know that Jakobs'
book can be used with both groups. However, some students come to us
with no or very little knowledge of grammar (esp. in-service teachers
seeking a certificate in teaching English as a second language) so
this book was rather difficult for them.


Thank you very much!

Subject: Artificial Bilingualism

Dear Linguists,

I am working on a dissertation on artificial bilingualism, which deals
with cases where L1-speaking parents, within their L1-environment, try
to raise their children bilingually, using an L2 which is neither of
the parents' native language. If anyone knows about relevant cases, I
would truly appreciate any contacts as well as bibliographic hints.

Thank you very much in advance, 
Marion Griessler
