As I intend to spend some time in the mid-eastern part of guinee-conakry
(dabola), i would like to come across some linguistic literature,
particularly on malinke or on any of the other languages there being spoken.
could any of the linguist readers help me in finding references, as well as
the location of those books (preferably in belgium).

thanks in advance,

I would appreciate bibliographical references for the effects of
Spanish and Portuguese language contact on indigenous languages
in Latin America.

Frances Karttunen

 As many of you probably know, Korean has three series of voiceless stops:
lax unaspirated (T), (tense) aspirated (Th) and tense unaspirated (T*). I have
a couple of questions concerning the nature and history of the latter:
(1) does anybody know anything about the evolution of these stops, i.e. what
they could have developed from;
(2) do they have anything in common articulatorily with ejectives, and is
there any evidence (dialectal or other) that they could be evolving to D
in some environments or across the board?

Is anyone aware of any college or university of the U.S. or Canada which
offers instruction in Albanian?

Rgds.
