    Dear friends, what's the latest authoritative treatment of intrusive r in English dialects? is there a broader treatment of intrusive types of sandhi? especially of the euphonic variety?

    thanks in advance.

    Dear collegues,

    My name is Maxim Antonenko and I am a teacher of English & Literature at Gorlovka State Pedagogical Institute for Foreign Languages in Ukraine. As a topic for my Candidate of Science (equivalent of PhD) thesis I chose the study of British newspapers & magazines names. I am interested in research of etymology, derivation, geographical distribution and semantics of British newspapers & magazines published in 1801-2002. So far I couldn't find any information on works devoted to this field of onomasiology. The sources from Russian linguists Superanskaya, Podolskaya and others who are established researchers in onomastics don't provide any insights apart from some general information. I would appreciate if you can help me with any information available on this topic.

    Yours sincerely, Maxim Antonenko
