About a year ago (during the summer lull) I offered to mail out a
brief History of Syntax I've compiled of the original texts (with
translations of Greek and Latin) of some of the short gems or turning
points since antiquity. Here's a repeat offer. Just send a stamped
(if US) addressed envelope to Joseph Davis, 265 W. 93 St., Apt. 2, New
York, NY 10025. To be clear: these are just very brief quotations
from the classics (e.g., Aristotle, Thrax, Port-Royal, Saussure,
Chomsky, Diver). E-mail transmission is not possible because of
foreign characters. Joseph Davis

			New Web Site.


The Linguistics Section of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at
the University of Toronto (Canada) is pleased to announce that it has
just launched its new Web Site. Its new URL is as follows:


 http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/spanish_portuguese/hispling.html


The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Toronto
is the only Canadian university to offer graduate studies (MA and PhD)
in Hispanic Linguistics. The newly created web page for the linguistic
section provides information about its academic activities, graduate
programs and it is aiming to become a Canadian forum for Hispanic
Linguistics. Though basically concerned with linguistic topics related
to Spanish and other Iberic languages, this site also aims to broaden
theoretical horizons comprising the functional nature of language,
contact of Spanish with Amerindian languages, typological approaches
to one-language studies, and more! The Hispanic Linguistics site
offers an extensive set of links to other sites on the web, not only
in Hispanic Linguistics, but in Language Typology, Spanish Applied
Linguistics and Linguistics in General.

Come and visit us. Let us know if you would like to be linked to our web
pages. Your feedback is welcome at

We apologize if this announcement has been crossed-posted.
