    SALON is a restricted email list service which will start operating from May 1, 1997. SALON is initiated, mainly run by and run for linguistics _students_ of South Asian languages. It is being launched on an experimental basis till July 1997 and will be upgraded thereafter, depending on the response received and resources available. Although our target audience is linguistics students of South Asia, the actual emphasis will be on discussions relevant to linguistics PG and research students working on languages of the Indian subcontinent. Questions and comments on all aspects of SA linguistics are, however, welcome - ensuing discussion will of course depend on the subscribers. Further information will be mailed to each subscriber.

    To set the ball rolling, Probal Dasgupta <dasguptpMAGELLAN.UMontreal.CA> has agreed to be the anchor person till mid-June '97, Amit Sood <amit.soodblueskills.com> is the moderator. For subscribers with limited computer access, we will email a regular digest and to people with no computer access, we will arrange to snailmail a monthly digest. We will fully archive all SALON material and the subscribers will be informed in due course.

    We request all Linguist List members to widely circulate/ publicise this announcement. To all those who are into SA linguistics, to subscribe, please send Amit Sood an email at 'amit.soodblueskills.com' (without the quotes). If you wish to receive all emails rather than only the weekly digest, please mention this in the message. An FAQ is accessible via WWW at <http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~uclytbh/faqsalon.htm>;

    which has further details about posting to the list.Thanks!
