Could someone please give me the full reference to Keenan's paper "On
semantics and binding" (or something very similar) from 1987 I believe.
I'd be extremely grateful.

Subject: Inquiry of Books on Abbreviations

Dear Netters,

I would like to inquire whether there are any books talking about
Chinese abbreviations. As far as I know, there are not many, but only
some journal papers and dictionaries only. What I want to have is some
sociolinguistic and structural study of Chinese abbreviations.

Thank you.

Regards

Message 3: the study of dialogue

Subject: the study of dialogue

Dear Colleagues,

My name is Ludmilla Bulatetska. I am the Dean of the Department of
German/Roman Languages at Volyn State University in Lutsk, Ukraine. I am
writing in hopes of finding colleagues in the linguistics field with
similar interests.

My particular areas of interest are two. One is the study of textual
strategies used by the listener related to the interpretation of spoken
dialogue. The second is the morphopragmatic means of expressing the
socio-psychological distance between interlocutors (comparing Ukrainian and
English). I am interested in exchanging ideas and research materials and
generally carrying on a professional dialogue related to these subjects. I
also would like to keep abreast of conferences dealing with these topics.

If you or your colleagues find these matters of interest, then you can
contact me via email at romanuniver.lutsk.ua or via surface mail at:

Department of German/Roman Languages
Volyn State University
Prospect Voli, 13
Lutsk 263009
Ukraine

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Ludmilla Bulatetska
Dean
