    Contour segments or complex onsets like kw (labialized velar) are very common in many languages. But I want to know if the contour segments as pj,bj, mj(palatalized labials),tj, dj,nj(palatalized alveolars) and labialized alveolars and labialized palatals exist in any languages. I need this crosslinguistic evidence for my thesis. I really appreciate it if you can supply me with the answer or part of the answer.I'll post a summary for this contour segment survey.

    Dear list members!

    I am planning a project on emotion cognition and motivation based on Fauconnier's and Lakoff's work. I currently live in France and would like to study cognitive science here at graduate level, and would be thankful for information to my following questions. I'll be happy to mail a summary of the answers if this will be of interest for you.

    Interdisciplinarity / Curriculum

    Does the entry level to a graduate course in French CogSci (DEA) mean that only students from cognitive science's "standard disciplines" (AI, neuroscientists, psychologists, and computer and other engineers etc.) are accepted? (I've done an MA in literature with some cognitive linguistics). How did others from non-standard background cope with the curriculum and the general orientation of CogSci in France, also concerning PhD projects?

    Funding

    What are the possibilities for grants in France for DEA and PhD as a European citizen? Are there companies in France which would be interested in such a project ?

    All comments are welcome. Thanks

    Marie
