Subject: EU language planning/policy

Dear members,

I am currently working on designing a course for first-year students
(mostly native speakers of Norwegian) on the topic of EU language
planning/policy. I was wondering if anybody could help me with some
references to reasonably easy-to-read texts/textbooks in any of these
areas:

- a multilingual Europe
- language and culture in Europe
- EU language planning and policy
- EU's 'language workers': translation and interpretation

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Ann J. K. Greenall

Subject: Syntax Analysis Software

Hello. I am looking for a freeware Windows application that will
analyze syntax in small text files. I am particularly interested in a
program that will identify independent and dependent clauses, phrases,
passive constructions, etc. Do such programs exist, and if so, can
anyone recommend one?
 
Thank you,
 
Meg Wood
