Message 1: American English vocabulary in British English

Date: 12-Oct-2004
From: Eve Townend <ega02eltsheffield.ac.uk>
Subject: American English vocabulary in British English


I am looking for a source of information that would provide me with a list of
 American vocabulary that has been borrowed into the British English lexicon. A
 list that gives dates for when the words first became present in British English
 would be particularly useful.

Message 2: Standardized Assessment Instrument

Date: 12-Oct-2004
From: Galia Hatav <ghatavlin.ufl.edu>
Subject: Standardized Assessment Instrument


The Program in Linguistics at University of Florida was asked to
offer some measure of how to assess our majors upon completing
linguistics as an undergraduate.  

We decided to do a little research and find out whether or not there are such
measures in other programs. Specifically, are there any standardized assessment
instrument for undergraduate linguistics majors in your department/program?
