I am sending the following message on behalf of my colleague Gilles Col:
For research I am conducting at the University of Poitiers, France,
I am looking for a corpus, if that can be found, of:
 a recorded conversation of two young people (around 20; IQ:
100 and more) affected by muscular dystrophy
 a recorded conversation of a "mirror couple": two "normal" young
people, same age, same IQ, and, if possible, the same social and
cultural background.
Ideally, I would like them to be recorded while performing the same
activity, e.g. trying to use the same application programme
(MacDraw, or whatever) but each couple separately.
The purpose is to make a linguistic study of their means to refer
to future time in English (analyse which markers they use, when,
and which speakers.)

I am preparing an errata sheet for my textbook, "Typology
and universals" (CUP). I have corrections for a number of errors
(mainly in examples) that I have found or have been pointed
out to me. If anyone out there has used the text for a course,
or has otherwise noticed typos, errors in examples, etc.,
please send them to w.croftman.ac.uk.

Thanks,
Bill Croft

I've checked a number of different library catalogs, and am unable to find
listings for the Chicago Linguistic Society proceedings for 1994 (CLS 30).
If anyone has copies of these proceedings, could I have you email me the
bibliographic info for the volume itself, as well as the page numbers for my
article, which appears in this volume?

Thanks in advance,
