1. , Summary: Specialised Lists

Dear netters:

A week ago I posted a question, whether someone on the
list knew of specialised lists on LSP and/or on
Translation. Thanks a lot to Marie-Louise Hannan,
Montreal and Jane A. Edwards, Berkeley for giving the
answers, which I pass on to the list below. There seems
to be no list on especially LSP for the time being - is that
because no need is felt for such a list? Please post
reactions to this question to the list or directly to me
(janlng.hha.dk).

Regards,

Jan Engberg

(Jane Edwards:)
I'm appending two things:
(1) an updated version of what I wrote in my survey of
corpora and corpus-related resources in Edwards & Lampert (1993)
_Talking Data:
Transcription and Coding in Discourse Research._
Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum.

(2) a web page for translators by Mazzoldi in Dublin
(though you probably already know if - just making sure).

Best Wishes,

-Jane

 2. HUMANIST is an international email discussion list
for issues relating to the application of computers to scholarship
in the humanities. This includes linguistics, comparative
literature,philosophy, Biblical studies, and several other fields.
Begun in 1987 under joint sponsorship of the ACH, the ALLC and the
University of Toronto's Centre for Computing in the Humanities, it is
currently housed at Brown University and moderated by Elaine
Brennan and Allen Renear. It has over 600 members in 24 countries.

"subscribe humanist <your name>" to

listservbrownvm.brown.edu; to post

articles, mail them to humanistbrownvm.brown.edu.
Articles submitted to HUMANIST are archived on a file server and
can be searched remotely by means of one-line listserv commands.

 3. LINGUIST is an international list intended as a place
for discussion of issues of concern to the academic discipline
of linguistics and related fields. It is moderated by Anthony
Aristar(Texas A&M University) and Helen Dry (Eastern Michigan
University). It explicitly welcomes discussion of any linguistic
subfield.
To subscribe to LINGUIST, send email to the LINGUIST
listserver
(listservTAMVM1.tamu.edu), containing the following
one-line message:

SUBSCRIBE LINGUIST <your name>

for example, "subscribe linguist john smith."
To submit a posting to the list, email it to
 linguistTAMVM1.tamu.edu.
The LINGUIST fileserver contains contributed files of
interest to language researchers, such as the LSA or Georgetown
lists of corpora, and linguists' email addresses and these are
similarly obtainable by one-line commands. For more information,
send the one-line command "help linguist" via email to
linguist-requestTAMVM1.tamu.edu.
For questions requiring human attention, send a message to:
linguist-editorsTAMVM1.tamu.edu.

 4. LN, Langage Naturel, is an international list for
computational linguistics, sponsored by the Association for
Computational Linguistics (ACL) and the Association for
Computers and the Humanities (ACH). Its goal is to
disseminate calls for papers, conference and seminar
announcements, requests for software, corpora, and
various types of data, project descriptions, and discussions on
technical topics. The list is primarily French-speaking, but many
items are circulated in English. The list owners and editors
are Philippe Blache, Jean Veronis, and Pierre Zweigenbaum.

owners at the generic address: LN-requestFRMOP11.CNUSC.FR.

 5. PROSODY is an international list with members
representing a broad spectrum of approaches including linguistics,
psycholinguistics, and computer science. It serves a vital function of
disseminatinginformation concerning available resources in a
technologically rapidly expanding area. To subscribe, send:

 6. FUNKNET, headed by Talmy Givon and Paul Hopper,
is a discussion list concerned with various aspects of human language,
communication, cognition, socioculture, neuropsychology, and other
facets of cognitive and communicative behavior, viewed from what might
loosely be called the functionalist perspective, that is, language
viewed as an instrument of communication, coding experience, an evolved
neurobiological phenomenon, a sociocultural phenomenon,or a
combination of these, with an emphasis on empirical language study,
including especially corpus data.
For further information, contact
Talmy Givon at: funknet-requestoregon.uoregon.edu.
To post to the
entire list, send to: funknetoregon.uoregon.edu.

 7. EMPIRICISTS is a list for corpus-based
computational linguistics, with over 800 subscribers.
It originated from the empiricist/rationalist
machine translation debate at TMI-92. While similar to
CORPORA, the list is filtered to minimize volume. It is
currently moderated by David Yarowsky
(yarowskyunagi.cis.upenn.edu).
To subscribe, send email to
empiricists-requestunagi.cis.upenn.edu. Send

professionals and students interested in human communication studies.
It is located at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and coordinated by
Timothy Stephen and Teresa Harrison, both of whom are professors in
communication studies. Comserve keeps archives of bibliographies,
course materials, job announcements, text transcripts, and other
materials, with the author retaining the rights and the copyright.
It coordinates a number of hotlines on communication, which can
be subscribed to via the listserver. To subscribe to the

Smith is your name.

 14. The List of Language Lists (LoLL) describes a large
number of electronic discussion groups devoted primarily to the
linguistic study of individual languages and groups of languages
(though a couple of others, in particular lists for language
learners, have been included as well). The LoLL was compiled
by Bernard Comrie and Michael Everson
and is available by anonymous ftp at midir.ucd.ie

contact Michael Everson, School of Architecture, UCD;
Richview, Clonskeagh; Dublin 14; E/ire,

 15. List of lists. A very lengthy list of Bitnet and
Internet discussion lists (presently over one megabyte long)
can be obtained via anonymous ftp to ftp.nisc.sri.com (192.33.33.22)
in the directory netinfo as "interest-groups.Z" or by sending the
following one-line message to mail-servernisc.sri.com,
making sure in advance that your system has sufficient
space to receive it:

SEND NETINFO/INTEREST-GROUPS

A related list can be obtained by sending email to

I am a freelance translator working in Ireland, and I
would like to announce my new web page with links of
interest to translators. The URL is:

<http://www.iol.ie/~mazzoldi/lang/index.html>;

This page is entirely a personal effort, and of
course it is still under construction (and what
isn't?): I will be glad for any suggestions, comments
or pointers. At the same time, I think that it is a
potentially useful collection of links to resources
for translators - you might like to have a look.

Thank you

You will find some useful links to general language
resources, and quite possibly some to specific resources on LSP's,
if you look at the following Web site:

 http://www.iol.ie/~mazzoldi/lang/index.html

This is a collection of links to linguistic tools and
resources for translators. It includes a link to the Translator's
Home Companion and the Human-Languages Page, and I have
found it very comprehensive and helpful.
