1. Bill Bennett, Summary of replacement of transformations by move-a
2. Yoko Uchida, Saussure in the United States
3. , Request refs on gender and miscommunication
4. D.Galasinski, evasion

I can remember, a few years ago, a very good account of transformations and a
clear explanation of their replacement by move-a. It was in an introduction to,
or a history of our subject, and came at the beginning (Preface?) of a long
book. I cannot now find the reference. I have, of course, looked in the Heny,
the Newmeyer(s), and the Sells, but my sought-after account was not there. Can
anyone help? I feel I will recognise the source as soon as I see its name.
Please send direct, since I am sure there can be no colleagues with the same
amnesia. Regards Bill Bennett.

 I am looking for general information about the study on Saussure in the 90's
in the United States. This is for my linguistics course paper in Japan.
 Any information, such as titles of journals/books, discussion groups,
universities where a study is going on, is welcome.
 Thank you in advance.

Request refs on gender and miscommunication

I am looking for references on gender and miscommunication.

The obvious ones are Malt and Borker 1982 and Henley and Kramarae 1991.

Does anyone know of any others?
Please reply direct to me and I will summarise responses and send them to
the Linguists Bulletin Board.

With thanks

I am looking for recent publications on evasion and relevance.
Can somebody help me, please?
