    Subject: English for Specific Purposes bibliography


    Hi, I am doing my MA thesis in the area of applied linguistics but I am having difficulties in finding the literature that I need. Does anyone have any references on acquisition of English for Specific Purposes? Any publications related to multimedia exercises, systems and applications used for language acquisition as well as any papers related to English for Specific Purposes are more than welcome.

    To The Readers,

    I am currently in the process of doing research for several grants dealing with intelligent tutoring systems. Tutorial Agent technology is well known among both theoretical linguists and computational linguists as technology that requires a background in one or more of the following areas: syntax, semantics, pragmatics and more. It is a good area of research and a good area for jobs for both theoretical and computational linguists. I have a long list of sources that I have found related to intelligent tutoring systems which can be obtained by any interested parties via personal correspondence with me. I was wondering if anyone could point me towards any current literature on this subject? Any help is appreciated. Sincerely, Karen Smith Linguist Ergo Linguistic Technologies

    We are studying languages for which it is appropriate to establish separate units of phonological word and grammatical word. These sometimes coincide but do not always do so. Can you direct us to reliable descriptions of languages which recognise these two types of word, with explicit criteria?

    Thanks in advance
