For our upcoming native studies week, I would like to present something in
my language acquisition course on the acquisition of native languages that
are spoken in Canada. Please send suggestions to smythlake.scar.utoronto.ca
Ron Smyth

Does anybody know who introduced regular expressions, such as the
Kleene star (as in a rule like NP -> NP (CONJ NP)*) into context-
free grammars?

Hi, there,

 Anybody knows of work on machine readable/tractable dictionary and
computational morphology for Malay?

Thanks,
Paul

An anonymous reviewer has mentioned an analysis of Air Traffic Control
(TRACON) conversations by "Morrow et al, 1991." I would very much like
to find this study, but with only the above information our reference
librarians have not been able to find anything plausible.

Do any of you recognize this study? A full citation would be ideal,
but at this point I'd be appreciative of even an additional clue:
author's full name, co-authors' names, a vague recollection of where
you might have seen this study, etc.

Thanks!
