Can anyone give me any information about WordNet, which is described as an
on-line lexical database? Is it a commercial product? research? who
developed it? for what application?

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm looking for Cyrillic postscript fonts for the Macintosh. I'm ready
to spend some bucks on this, but I'd really like to know that they
are available as free or shareware...
Please reply to me directly if you already posted replies about
this in the past. Thanks.

Looking for the source of the phrase "Worlds Apart." It seems that
this would be easy to find, but several textx and numerous learned
colleagues have been unable to help. Thanks.

Subject: on writing for E Mail

I am interested in how language use between people on EMAIL differs from the way
they talk to each other or write to each other in other venues. What is the
sociolinguistics of EMail? Topics such as: how certain taboos fall; increased
informality, not to say bluntness; managing tone, jokes, irony (I know a little
something about emoticons). What about the fact that a writer dashes off
messages quickly,k sends them out, and then realizes that something was said
that should not have been: there is no way to take it back.

In other words, how does the technology (plus the communicative needs people
have today that are currently unmet) affect relationships on EMAIL?

I publish a magazine for professors called LINGUA FRANCA. Only a year old and
it has 15,000 subscribers and was just named one of the ten best magazines of
the year.

My inquiry is with a view to either 1) getting information that will help a
writer do a story; 2)getting some tips on what may already have been written or
published on this stuff, or 3) finding a writer who can report on all this stuff
with a certain authority.
