Qs: Labov on tense, LA school with Chinese as L2, J T Jensen

Directory

1. Hartmut Haberland, Labov on Tense
2. Alexander Vovin, School in LA with Chinese as a second language
3. John Henderson, Address for John Thayer Jensen

In 1977, the LAUT Preprint agency in Trier, (then West) Germany publihshed a
working paper by William Labov, On the adequacy of natural languages: the
development of tense. Does anybody have a reference to a 'proper'
publication of this paper as a journal article or chapter in a book? Thanks.
Hartmut Haberland

Query:
Friends of mine moved recently to LA and they are looking for a good
school where their daughter (age 10) could continue her study of Chinese,
which she has studied for two years. Please reply directly to me, as
they do not use e-mail. Thank you,
Alexander Vovin

Does anyone have an e-mail or other address for John Thayer Jensen? By
extraordinary coincidence there is another John T Jensen who is also a
linguist, but the one I'm looking for is the one who wrote the Yapese
Grammar and Dictionary.

Thanks,

John Henderson
