    Hi,

    I am currently working on my PhD on learning languages on the internet, especially online courses in English and French. It would be most helpful if anyone who came across such a site could mail its address to me. I will gladly keep you informed in the process.

    Thanks for your help.

    Regards

    Does anyone have a reference for the observation that morphemes are like "beads on a string" (in some classical formulation)? Jesperson? Bloomfield? I can't find it!

    I've seen this quote a number of times but without citation. Is this a linguistic urban legend or did someone actually say this at some point?

    A European colleague seeks to get back in contact with the American Romance scholar Paul A. Gaeng, formerly of Indiana University. Searching in the LINGUIST address finder and LSA's list has been unsuccessful. Is he still living? Does anyone have his address? Please write directly to: Wayles Browne, Cornell U., ewb2cornell.edu Thanks in advance, Wayles Browne

    We are looking to buy/borrow/beg/steal colourful language-related posters, maps etc to brighten up the walls of our teaching rooms. Can anyone suggest where we might get hold of such things? Many thanks in advance - I'll post a summary.
