Message 1: politeness in ESL

 Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 13:00:23 +0200
From: Anna-Brita Stenstrom <Anna.Stenstromeng.uib.no>
Subject: politeness in ESL

A student of mine is writing a thesis on politeness in the language of
second language learners. Unfortunately, there seems to be very little
literature on the subject, and apparently nothing published later than the
early 80s. 

It is an interesting field of research, and all suggestions are welcome.

Message 2: Autosegmental Phonology

Subject: Autosegmental Phonology


Dear list members 

While there is a lot of literature on autosegmental phonology, I have
never found a complete phonology of a language in the autosegmental
framework, which also discusses possible influences of one feature on
other, not directly linked features. Has anybody of you compiled such
a study or come across one? Thanks in advance

Message 3: chomsky argument

 Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1998 21:01:57 -0400 (EDT)
From: Dan Hardt <hardtmonet.csc.vill.edu>
Subject: chomsky argument

I am looking for references that discuss chomsky's argument from
syntactic structures that finite state machines are not adequate for
natural language. in particular, i would be interested in references
that take an opposing point of view.

please respond to hardtvill.edu 

thank you 

dan
