Dear Fellow Linguists:

I will be teaching Linguistics 101 for the first time in the Spring of 1996
and want to collect syllabi for Linguistics 101 courses. Please forward
them to me at
 katherine.lahtimail.trincoll.edu

or Katherine Lahti
 Department of Modern Languages
 Trinity College
 Hartford CT 06106

My course will not be a part of a larger program in Linguistics, but will
serve majors in the languages, Anthropology, Cognitive Science and
Neuroscience. Any thoughts or advice will also be appreciated.

Thank you very much,
Katherine

Dear list,
A colleague and I are going to give an introductory course on
Morphology and Syntax to undergraduates from the BA Modern Languages
degree. The course is structured in two parts, one dealing with
general concepts in Morphology and Syntax, with reference to English,
and a second part where students can choose either German or Spanish
Morphology and Syntax. Now, our query is: are there any good
introductory books on German and Spanish Morphology, written in
English (preferably), German and Spanish? We've found a number
of good books on English Syntax and also a few Morphology books
dealing with a variety of languages, but nothing interesting in
German and Spanish. If you know any, please write to me. I'll post a
summary if I get enough responses.
Thanks a lot

Can anybody inform me of a proper tonological description on KiGogo?

A colleague in Europe is planning a course in anthropological linguistics at
her university. 1) What textbooks can we recommend? (In English, also other
Germanic, Romance, or Slavic languages.)
2) Anyone who teaches such a course now: what topics do you have on your
syllabus?
Please reply to me at ewb2cornell.edu; I will summarize for the list if
there is interest. Thank you--
