Computer Bulletin Boards for Individual Languages Prepared by Bernard Comrie and Michael Everson Version 1.1 (13 May 1993) This file lists bulletin boards devoted primarily to the linguistic study of individual languages and groups of languages (though a couple of others, in particular lists for language learners, have been included as well). It would be great if other correspondents to LINGUIST will be encouraged to maintain corresponding lists for branches of linguistics, particular approaches to linguistics, language teaching, etc. The usual way of subscribing to a list is to send the following message to the listserver (not to the address for enquiries): SUBSCRIBE In the listing below, the name of the list is given in capital letters inside parentheses. When you subscribe, you will receive instructions on how to contribute to the list, and on how to remove your name from the subscription list (usually: SIGNOFF (UNSUBSCRIBE works too)). A list of mailing lists available on Internet is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.nisc.sri.com (192.33.33.32) in the file /netinfo/ interest-groups. A directory of scholarly electronic conferences is maintained by Diane K. Kovacs (dkovacs@kentvm.bitnet or @kentvm.kent.edu) and is available by sending the message get acadlist readme to one of the following addresses: listserv@kentvm.bitnet listserv@kentvm.kent.edu The materials you will receive include instructions for getting more detailed descriptions of particular sets of electronic conferences (e.g. LANGUAGES, LINGUISTICS). Those interested in contacting speakers of languages (not necessarily linguists) should also consider contacting the appropriate soc.culture list (e.g. soc.culture.polish). The order of the lists follows somewhat the Library of Congress Subject headings; no attempt at bibliographical perfection has been attempted. Please send corrections and emendations to this list to: Bernard Comrie (comrie@uscvm) and Michael Everson (everson@irlearn.ucd.ie) ========== Language(s): Sign languages; P117, E98.55, HV2474-HV2476 Sign languages (SLLING-L) Listserver: listserv@yalevm.bitnet listserv@yalevm.cis.yale.edu For questions, contact: Dave.Moskovitz@vuw.ac.nz (Dave Moskovitz) A previous incarnation of this was ASLING-L.
