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.

Is anyone aware of any information available online or in print regarding
the use of sociolinguistics or ''language awareness'' courses as
alternatives for college foreign language study? I am hoping to make a case
for my in-progress sociolinguistics textbook based on its potential for
filling the gap in programs that are dropping their foreign language
requirements. Thanks in advance for any input.

Dear Linguist List,
We are doing a study looking at the relationship between the speech
intonation contours of song lyrics (when spoken as text) and the musical
melody to which those lyrics were set in song.
If anyone is aware of prior work (especially empirical work) on this topic,
we would be grateful for references. We are aware that there has been a
fair amount of work on this question in tone languages, but we are
particularly interested in research on intonation languages, especially
English and French.
Thanks,
Ani Patel
