Subject: Sociological lists/discussion groups,etc


A colleague of mine who is not on the Internet would like to know whether
there are specific lists, discussion groups, e-journals, etc. related to the
broad field of sociology. Please respond to me personally. If anyone is
interested, I will summarize for the list.

Many thanks.

Subject: Looking for English word lists

I am posting this query for a friend who teaches English conversation
in Taiwan. Basically he wants English word lists that exemplify semantic
field or lexical relations (e.g. generic-specific, part-whole, etc.).
Please reply by email directly to Bruce Hammar, u8124529@cc.nctu.edu.tw.

-----------------------

Do you have any idea where I might locate this kind of material?
I am interested in getting information about relationships between
lexical items. The relationship of one word as being more generic
and another as being a specific of that generic word. Taxonomies.
For example,
plant
|
flowers shrubs trees grass ferns .....
|
birch pine gum palm oak ......
|
betel nut coconut sago limbum .....

Also I am interested in words in context. Having many examples of
the use the that word or phrase in context. This is so that the
students can get the feel of the use of the word.

In my reading I have come across the mention of word lists by M. West,
"Minimum Adequate" and "General Service" lists, Basic English, Riewald's
lists, and H. Bonger K list. Where Might I get these or similar lists?

I hope this will give you some idea of what I am looking for.

Subject: Stanford Software team

Does anyone know what happened to the Stanford Faculty Development Project,
the people that brought us "Would Be Gentleman", "Turing's World" and other
programs? I am going to be in the CS Dept. an Stanford on Monday for an
interview and wanted to meet with members of this group while I am there, but
my contact person in the CS dept. doesn't know anything about the group, and
if truth be known, I haven't seen any work from them for a number of years
now. Is this defunct?

Subject: Judge Book by Cover

I am currently engaged in a conversation with a famous librarian and network
personality about the following concept on which I would like your input:

When the subject and title of a book are released [with no additional info],
is it proper to challenge the authenticity of the book without ever opening
the book to read even the first page?
