Summary:	Regarding query: http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-586.html#2 Thank you to the two LINGUIST subscribers who responded to my query of Feb. 27: Is ''Language brokering'' a sufficiently important research topic in linguistics to request that the Library of Congress establish an official subject heading for it? The two responders were: Madalena Cruz-Ferreira Nancy Frishberg One lister felt ''I haven't got much to say about the library heading ... except that it does seem to fill a niche of its own'', while the other felt, ''this is not a necessary term in cataloguing, yet. Perhaps it's coming into greater attention, I consider this ... a special case of interpreting.'' From these two replies, and the small number of them, I conclude for now that LINGUIST subscribers do not recommend strongly that the Library of Congress establish an official subject heading.
