The Linguists' Nameserver
The LINGUISTS NAMESERVER is a program which allows linguists to find the
e-mail addresses of other linguists.
ALL SUBSCRIBERS TO LINGUIST SHOULD
SEND THEIR OWN LISTING TO THE NAMESERVER WHEN THEY FIRST SUBSCRIBE,
in the way described here.
- The LINGUISTS NAMESERVER is administered independently from the LINGUIST
mailing list.
All enquiries about the server should be sent to the
administrator of the nameserver, Norval Smith, at the address
NSMITH@LET.UVA.NL.
- Do not send any nameserver messages to the
addresses LINGUIST@linguistlist.org or to LINGUIST@LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG.
These addresses will not be able to deal with them.
All nameserver messages using the commands below should be sent by
e-mail to:
