I would like to divulge through the Linguist List the issuing of a
journal, Seminarios de Linguistica, published by the University of
Algarve (Portugal).

A web site is available at URL:

where an overall presentation of the journal can be found, as well as
all order information.

More information could be asked writing to:

Yours truly,

Jorge Baptista

I'm very pleased to announce (at last) that the British National
Corpus (BNC) can now be searched online over the internet from
anywhere in the world.

The new BNC Online Service allows anyone with access to the internet
to:

* search for words, phrases, or patterns in the BNC via a simple web
 interface

* register for an account on the BNC server (free for twenty days
 unlimited usage)

* download the SARA client software needed to talk to this server
 (also free: available for Windows3.x or 95 only)

This new service is made possible by the generosity of the British
Library (who run the server); thanks are also due to its ingenious
developers (Scotty Logan and Tony Dodd).

The address of BNC Online is http://thetis.bl.uk/

For more information on the BNC, see http://info.ox.ac.uk/bnc
