We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Message 1: Initial/final lengthening in Italian and Hungarian

From: Laurence White <laurence.whitebristol.ac.uk>
Subject: Initial/final lengthening in Italian and Hungarian

I'm looking for references, unpublished data, etc. regarding the
lengthening of speech segments word-initially and word-finally in
Italian and Hungarian, having found little so far in the (English
language) literature. I'm interested both in production data
describing the magnitude and locus of each effect, and in perception
experiments on the use of lengthening as a cue to word boundaries.
 
References to perception experiments on these word segmentation cues
in other languages would also be of interest. I'll post a summary.

Thank you,

Laurence White

Subject: Generative Semantics Multimedia Materials

Elsevier is updating its Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics,
including James McCawley's article on generative semantics. The new
edition will include a digital version with a "multimedia annex,"
which brings us to my query. If anyone has, or knows of pictures,
recordings, or movie clips, from relevant lectures or conferences, I
would be very interested in hearing about them (offline). Thanks.
