Subject: A Linguist's List

So far, no electronic discussion list has been set up specifically
to deal specifically with the discipline I'm a part of, linguistics,
or with the issues that linguists find important. We have other forums
where specialized sub-disciplines have a home--computational linguistics
is one such--but no list which deals generally with the field exists.

I suggest that it's time such a list was formed, and that we begin
the process of organizing one now. The advantages to linguists and
linguistics would, I feel, be considerable. The existence of a single
forum for the dissemination of information on theoretical issue that
concern us, conferences, general discussions, job adverts would not
merely serve our academic interests, but also serve the general
purpose of keeping each of us in general, and useful, contact with
each other.

If any of the linguists on this list have any comments to make on
this suggestion, perhaps we could get into electronic contact,
and discuss it. To save the other members of Humanist from our
exchanges, perhaps it would be better to reply directly to me.

You might wish to add to your list of scholarly electronic discussion
groups the electronic newsletter & proto-journal,

CRTNET@PSUVM (Communication Research and Theory Network)

of which I am the editor. It is a moderated group for scholars
interested in human communication, speech, rhetoric.

Ezra Zubrow's mention of Anthro-l, the general anthropology listserver,
sounds right up my street. How do you subscribe to it, what listserv is
it on, etc.?

>LITERARY@UCF1VM Discussions about (contemporary?) Literature
>LITERARY@UIUCVME [see preceding entry; which node is correct?]

LITERARY@UCF1VM is alive and well. I can't speak for the second
listing.

one note regarding LORE (the unmoderated folklore list).

I subscribed last Friday. Since then, I have received something close
to 300 mail messages from that list, most of which had to do with the
relative merits of nose piercing vs. the piercing of other body parts.
To be honest, there *were* a few messages of at least semi-academic
interest, but whether they balance all the rest is another question.
