    Subject: Re: announcement of Monash University Linguistics Working Papers


    We are pleased to announce the launch of the Monash University Linguistics Working Papers, a journal published by postgraduate students of the Department of Linguistics at Monash University, Clayton, Australia..

    URL: http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/gsandss/german/hkreutz/papers/index.htm

    Monash University Linguistics Papers

    Rationale

    The linguistics research community at Monash University includes current students, former graduates and staff of the Linguistics Department, as well as researchers working on language and language-related issues from other departments and faculties throughout the university.

    Monash University Linguistics Papers (MULP), although an initiative of the Linguistics Department, is a journal which aims to bring together this research community and showcase their work. Each issue of MULP consists of articles, review articles on a current topic in linguistics and book or software reviews. Most contributors are associated with the Monash Linguistics Department either as postgraduate students or recent graduates, but other relevant submissions are also considered. Student research done in collaboration with a staff member is welcomed as it fosters ties between students and staff. Commissioned pieces by visiting and resident academics on their areas of expertise and interest are also included.

    INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN "VIRTUAL RECITATION" DISCUSSION We, an instructor and a TA for a course 'LINGUISTICS 1000: Language in US Society' at University of Colorado at Boulder, would like to invite you to join the recitation discussions which are taking place on-line. This is an experimental recitation section in which the students participate in the discussions without coming to a classroom. (Please refer to: http://www.colorado.edu/linguistics/courses/1000/vrhome.html 'Virtual Recitation Homepage' for the overview of the recitation.) As we are using 'Language Awareness 7th ed.' as a text, we would welcome comments of the contributors of this book as well as teachers and researchers of the topics (described below) covered by the course. (Please refer to: http://www.colorado.edu/linguistics/courses/1000/schedule.html for the assigned readings.) The topics and the dates (approximate) for the discussion are: 1. Language Acquisition (in a broad sense) -- Sept. 5 - Sept. 17 - language and thought; the 'Genie' case 2. Dialects in the US -- Sept. 18 - Oct. 1 - languages of immigrants; Ebonics 3. Cultural Diversity and Bilingualism -- Oct. 2 - Oct 14 - names of immigrants; misconceptions on language learning 4. Literacy and Education -- Oct. 23 - Nov. 5 - cultural literacy; bilingual education 5. Endangered Languages -- Nov. 6 - Nov. 12 - with special attention to Native American languages and Spanish of the southwest 6. Official English -- Nov. 13 - Nov. 18 7. Prejudice, Discrimination and Language -- Nov. 19 - Nov. 26 - hate speech 8. Language and Gender -- Nov. 27 - Dec. 4 9. Mediated Language -- Dec. 5 - Dec 10 - advertisement; cyberspace The discussion will begin with one or two summaries of the assigned readings to be posted on a web page (accessible from the 'Virtual Recitation Homepage') and then flow rather freely just as an 'in-class' recitation goes. The students in this recitation will be excited to have experts on the various topics participating in their discussions. One of the purposes of the Virtual Recitation is to involve them in a larger academic community and expose them to several perspectives on the topics under discussion.

    If you are interested in joining our discussion, please visit our 'Virtual Discussion page' for more details. (http://www.colorado.edu/linguistics/courses/1000/vrdiscmain.html) We also welcome comments and recommendations on the Virtual Recitation as it is set up or as a pedagogical tool for large lecture classes. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Jule Gomez de Garcia (instructor, LING1000, U. of Colo. at Boulder) Yoshiteru Asano (TA - Virtual Recitation section: ling1000spot.colorado.edu)
