    Subject: Contextual vocabulary acquisition bibliography


    As part of a research project on (computational) theories of contextual vocabulary acquisition, I am developing a bibliography on the subject.

    It can be viewed at:

    http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/refs.vocab.html

    It will be continually updated, so if you know of items that are not on my list, please send me full bibliographic info, and I will add them.

    Thanks.

    As you may already know, since 1997, the LSA has made available a web site named "Linguistic Enterprises", http://web.gc.cuny.edu/dept/lingu/enter/index.htm, aimed at helping academically trained linguists find work in the private sector. The site has so far been quite successful, in that it has generated a great deal of interest both in corporations worldwide (who regularly post job openings), and in individuals who have seen it as a great opportunity to market their skills by posting their resumes for the world to see.

    As the current manager of this site, I would like to invite feedback and suggestions from all linguists, with regard to the following areas: - if you are currently employed as a linguist in a non-academic setting, please let us know. This will help us get a better sense of how well this kind of employment is working out. You might also want to take a few moments to contribute some details about your personal experience, which is always helpful (and possibly encouraging!) to others out there looking for work. - We would also like to know if there are other ways in which the LE site can serve your needs: in other words, what other services can we offer? Are there specific features you would like to see on the site? Your ideas are valuable to all.

    Wishing you all a good summer,
