Does anyone know of any service/network that permits its subscribers to
dial in to a local node and connect to a computer on the Internet? I live
in New York and would like to work on a computer in Philadelphia (on which
I have an account), but the long-distance telephone rates are too high. I
would be quite happy to pay reasonable service fees in order to avoid the
long-distance telephone calls.

If anyone comes up with a good suggestion, I'll post the response to the
Linguist List.

Dear LINGUIST subscribers -

I'm interested in finding out about taped material for phonetics
teaching (such as the material available through UCLA, for example). In
particular, I'd like to hear about complete courses of
instruction if any exist (in the manner of the
old Smalley material).

I would be happy to provide a summary for LINGUIST.

We have in our lab here taped material (word lists,
minimal pairs, other phonetically significant material,
plus reading and spontaneous speech) of native speakers
of around fifty languages. If anyone is interested in obtaining
copies, perhaps we can work out a trade for material you might
have. I can send a list of what we've got
if I know who you are.

Please address replies directly to <dobrovolacs.ucalgary.ca>

With thanks,

I'm looking for information about the acoustic correlates of emotions in
speech. Eventually, I'd like to apply this information to synthetic speech.
Any suggestions about where I should start?

Thanks,
Debbie
