Has anyone seen research studies that correlate two or more coding sytems
for verbal behavior? For instance, not just a frequency count, but also d
uration. Any help greatly appreciated. Michele Kilgore (MKilgoreuga.cc.uga.edu

 For my thesis research in Machine Translation (MT),
I need information on past, current, or on-going projects
involving Italian MT. Of particular interest are projects which
focus on translation from Italian into English. If there are
subscribers to the list who know of such projects, I would greatly
appreciate their forwarding any information or names of points of
contact to me at the email address below. Many thanks.

Message 3: Re: 4.715 Marginal Utterances, Resonance Theory

Gunnel Tottie recently wrote: "It has been suggested (by Peter Trudgill,
personal communication) that the peculiarly American signals UHUH,
UNHHUNH, etc might have their origins in African languages."
Can anyone shed any light on this claim?
Does anyone know when and why "backchanneling" replaced "feedback"?

One of my students is bilingual Korean/English and is thinking of going to
graduate school. She wants to know if there are any schools that have programs
in Korean linguistics, or with Korean language programs that havea
leaning towards linguistics. I think she would like to know about schools
both in the U.S. and Korea. If you have any information, please email me
at this address and I will pass it along to her.
Thanks!
