Dear Listers:

Does anyone know who first used in print the neologism "herstory" for the history of women? When and where was this? In what field was it first used? Did it originate in spoken form first and circulate there before being used in writing? Any information or leads will be appreciated.

Dear Linguists, I'm about to start research for my undergraduate dissertation, and would like to know if there are any corpora based on Spoken data in Italian. I would be grateful for any suggestions as I'm not having much luck finding any. Mark Sharp
