A student of mine would appreciate information on research relating to
lexical storage and retrieval in tone languages. particularly the
effects, if any, of the tones themselves. Also, if there's any information
on word finding problems related to tone (mono or bilingual), we'd
appreciate that as well. Reply to wilburvm.cc.purdue.edu

Message 2: Re: 3.874 Qs: First Names

I'm looking for sociolinguistic work dealing specifically with
first names chosen by Americans of non-Western-European
ethnicity. Please reply privately to EL403015&BROWNVM.

If anyone is aware of a Mac database program (one based on hypercard might be
good) that can be used to record bibliographic and language material along the
lines of the MLA on CD-ROM, please tell me about it. I would like to do key
word searches, store summaries of contents and list via subject. The closest
thing I've seen is Procite, but that is so complicated, cumbersome, and inflex-
ible. It cannot be used for data on language characteristics, for example.
