1. , Sum: diachronic Chinese phonology

Summary.
Last summer I sent a message, asking for bibliographical
suggestions about diachronic Chinese phonology. Not being a
specialist, I needed help in order to advise a student of mine who
wanted to enter the field (he is now in Peking).
I got a list of references from the following colleagues, that I would
like to thank:
Randy LaPolla <HSLAPOLLATWNAS886.BITNET>
Steve Harlow <SJH1VAXA.YORK.AC.UK>
Scott Delancey <DELANCEYOREGON.UOREGON.EDU>
and <6500hongUCSBUXA.BITNET (UCSB)>
Here follows the complete list.
