Several students in our undergraduate psychology program are interested in
pursuing graduate work in speech and communication disorders. Information on
such programs would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sam G.
If enough interest, I'll post a summary.

Does anyone have any information about linguistic corpora which can be
logged onto through e-mail, and searched for particular syntactic
constructions? I believe this is called a tagged corpus; I am aware that
some exist, but would like to know whether they are accessible for
searches by people in general. In addition, I would appreciate receiving
insights into how useful such corpora might be for exploring speech
production phenomena. Please reply to jroweepas.utoronto.ca I will
send Linguist a summary of responses received. Thank you, Janet Rowe

I am a graduate student seeking information on the language(s) spoken
in the Quilombos of Brazil during the seventeenth century. Is there
anyone out there who can help me?

I was wondering if someone could give me references on the following
topic which would be accessible to read for a non-linguist.It is
about a child who is four,who is a bit late with the acquisition of
some phonemes and who has hearing problems. her parents were told
that she might have reading problems later on. is it likely? Thanks
in advance for your help.
