Does anyone of the Humanist list know of any electronic discussion groups
that deal with interdisciplinary and/or multicultural education?

Thank you,

Subject: Query: Shakespeare's exploitation of syntactic options

I recently posted the following query on LINGUIST, and was advised to send
it also to this address:

I've recently gotten interested in investigating the use of syntactic
options (i.e. syntactically different but semantically equivalent
constructions -- e.g. voice distinctions, variation in adverb placement) in
Shakespeare's plays, especially as tools in characterization. Can anybody
direct me to any research that has been done in this area?

Subject: Solipsism andthe Missing Piece

Dear readers of the Humanist List,

My father-in-law, Don Smith, is a psychologist and philosopher who is in the
process of writing a book on the 'self' and in part about our 'one-ness' with
ourselves despite the existence of others. He is looking for someone with an
interest in discussing the merits, etc of solipsism and the originator of the
term 'solipsism'. Don's theories have to do with the perception of oneself as
the whole being searching for the missing piece in his life much the way Shel
Silverstein's book "The Missing Piece" describes the journey of the imperfect
circle searching for its missing piece to 'complete and perfect itself'. He
discusses the point that one is never complete after being born and
'disembodied' from the womb if you will and that one will never find that
'missing piece' again.

If this is a subject of interest to anyone out there, and I hope my message is
not ill-placed (if it is, I apologize for wasting anyone's time), then please
feel free to correspond directly with me and I will forward e-mail to Don or
feel free to contact Don Smith by postal mail at the following address:
Don Smith
Star Route 1, Box 1080-15
Bristol, NH 03222 USA
phone: 603/744-8992.
Don doesn't have a fax or an e-mail address, but please feel free to contact
him via my e-mail address at D1634@Applelink.Apple.com@INTERNET#.
Thank you for any interest. Regards, Gillian Smith

Subject: finding e-mail addresses

I just got an "urgent" letter from a Spanish university asking for information
regarding my MacConcordance program. Since I have always distributed this
free over the network I would like to do so again in this case, but as is so
often the case when I receive such letters, there is no e-mail address.
Rather than just posing a query about the address, I would like to ask a more
general question: is there any simple way of getting such addresses over the
network. I know that some universities have a postmaster who can give you
local addresses, but you have to know how to reach the postmaster first. Also
I believe there is a listing that you can voluntarily join and query for
addresses, but few people know about this or use the service. Why can't we
just have a central listing of everybody's e-mail address which everyone is
put on automatically by their host institution unless they specifically
request otherwise? By the way, if someone knows the address for Juan Miguel
Monterrubio at the Dpt. of Filologia Espanyola i Moderna Universidad de las
Islas Baleares Palma de Mallorca, then I would like to have it. This sounds
like a nice place to have a vacation too.

Subject: shareware mail systems?

Thanks to NSF, we are about to hook up to the Internet using our own
address and host computer.
I'm searching for suggestions regarding public domain software for
e-mail in conjunction with the Internet connection. Comments from
HUMANIST readers, especially based on their experience -- good or
bad -- with a particular e-mail system for campus use would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Subject: help in Cambridge?

A colleague of mine, now on sabbatical at Cambridge University, has
just discovered that without a formal connection to the University he
cannot borrow books, only read them in the Library. For various good
reasons this is a severe hardship. He did not apply for a fellowship
before going and won't now, so that avenue is not open to him. His
credentials here, at the University of Toronto, are as respectable as
they need to be (professorial level, etc.). Can anyone suggest what he
might now do to obtain the necessary connection?

Thanks very much.
