Mr. Luiz Carlos SOUZA, a linguist in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, would like
to make contact with other researchers who are developing HIV/AIDS
education programmes for deaf communities all over the world, taking
into consideration sign language as first language (L1) and oral language
as a second language (L2). Mr. SOUZA holds a BA in Letters (Portuguese-
English), and ia a linguistics student and a English teacher. He holds
two postgraduate degrees in applied linguistics and deaf education
(bilingualism). His areas of research are: reading and deafness, HIV/AIDS
education programmes for the Brazilian deaf community and English
Language Teaching.

I've tried to locate an ftp site for obtaining a Tibetan font, either Mac
or PC, but without luck. I remember seeing some sources for several fonts
of Indian scripts, e.g. in U. Illinois. Could anybody provide me specific
information on this?

Thanks in advance. (I'll post an FYI, which can go into the FAQ perhaps.)

I have started gathering data for work on the pragmatics of teacher directives
in the classroom. I have/will be video and audio-taping three groups in the
classroom: experienced NS of Australian English (collected, 32 hrs), NS off
Australian English student teachers on first major teaching practicum (24
hrs.?) (ongoing), Chinese L1 from PLC student teachers (over next 18 mths.)
I have had to ensure anonymity of all subjects etc., but would love to hear
from others working on classroom data. My data will be mostly science, maths
business, but there are others here at La Trobe working on language classrooms.

 I am desperately seeking a copy of Lincoln and Rath's North
Wakashan Comparative Root List. The folks at our local Interlibrary
Loan Office are getting tired of seeing me. If you have one you would
be willing to sell or can point me to a likely source it would be
appreciated.
Please reply to me directly,

How idiosyncratic are rhymming patterns for a 2yr. 9mos. old bilingual
toddler? I observed my daughter saying the following:

"Papa, grand'homme, papa fant^ome, papa mange gomme."

One of my colleagues, who isn't in e-mail, is desperately looking for sources
on SLOGANS IN ADVERTISING. In general, she is interested in use of language in
ads. Please, e-mail to me and I'll forward messages to her. Thanking in advance
 Adam.
