I'm trying to trace a paper presented at the International Conference
on Koren Linguistics (Osaka, c.1990). The paper is by Kyong-Sook Song and it is called ''Comparative analysis of English and Korean discourse: spoken and written narrative.'' If there is anyone who holds a copy of this or knows where one could be obtained I would be very grateful. The paper is required for a PHD student in the Linguistics department at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.

I cannot, however, seem to find any source that proves or refers to this alleged fact. Can anyone out there clue me in? Thanks in advance, Lynne Murphy - M. Lynne Murphy Assistant Professor in Linguistics Department of English Baylor University PO Box 97404 Waco, TX 76798 I am currently collecting expressions for the ''sunshower'' in the languages of the world. The term ''sunshower'' refers to the natural phenomenon of a light rain falling when the sun is shining. Many languages have interesting expressions associated with this phenomenon, such as ''the devil's beating his wife'' (and variants thereof) in parts of the English-speaking world, ''the foxes are getting married'' or ''foxes' wedding'' in Japanese and some dialects of English, ''the wolf is giving birth'' in some dialects of Armenian, and so on. In my experience, the non-trivial expressions of this sort typically involve the wedding or birth of an animal or ''marked'' human, such as a widow. Unfortunately, dictionaries and other reference works generally do not contain these expressions for the sunshower. I would therefore be very interested to hear any such words or expressions used in the languages spoken and/or studied by the readers of this list, and I will be happy to post a summary of the responses received. Thanks, Bert Vaux Asst. Professor of Linguistics Harvard University |
