3. , on-line Spanish resources

One of my Ph.D. students, Alison Lomax, is planning to
research the question of whether there is a link between difficulties
experienced by infants in feeding and subsequent difficulties
in acquiring speech. We would be very grateful if anyone could
provide references to other studies that have been made in that
area, and also to any standardized tests that exist for assessing
either feeding difficulties or early speech difficulties. As
Alison does not have an E-mail address, would you please address
any responses to me.

A colleague of mine is interested in finding references to literature
on the conditions of occurrence of subject pronouns in pro-drop
languages (such as Italian). She is particularly interested in
pragmatic or functional approaches. Would anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks on her behalf.

The Computing Research Laboratory at New Mexico State University, as
part of a research project in Natural Language Processing, is looking
for information about the existence and possibility of acquisition of
the following on-line resources:

* Spanish monolingual texts (preferably in the area of finance)

* Spanish-English bilingual text corpora

* Spanish monolingual dictionaries

* Spanish-English bilingual dictionaries

* Spanish spell checkers

* Spanish morphological analyzers

* Spanish and/or Spanish-English term banks

These resources would be used for research purposes only. We would
like to obtain them free of charge, but if the price is right, we
might be able to pay.

Please send your responses directly to:

	shelmreinmsu.edu

We will summarize the responses to the list on 1/20/92, so please
respond by that date.

Thanks in advance.
