Dear Editors:

I'm looking for a Master of Arts in Humanities Program. Could you
help me. Where can I find out this information.

Thank you very much.

Jose Luis Espinosa.

Does anybody know about a multilingual text-analysis software called
SATO? I would like to know if it is a good program and if it is
readily available. Do you know of any other program that would be
as good, or better?

Subject: Lakota

Does anyone have any information on computerized Lakota (Sioux language)? I
am interested in instructional materials as well as spoken language. There
is a conference called Native Voices which has sound files for various SW
languages and there is interest in Sioux as well if we can find someone to
do them.

Thanks for your help,

Vicky

Subject: Self Induced Slavery

I'm presently working on an argument against a persons right to give up his
rights and willingly become a slave. I have encountered some arguments that
claim a person may if he wishes sell himself into slavery, but the ones I've
seen have pretty obvious flaws. While I certainly intend on refuting those,
I want to make sure I attack the hardpoints of the opposing view. Can any-
one direct me to a fairly strong set of arguments supporting a person's right
to enter into slavery willingly? Please reply directly, if it is no trouble.

Subject: tinker toys

For serious scholarly reasons (really), I need to know if the phrase
"tinker toy" is immediately familiar to Anglophones, not necessarily
maternally tongued, educated outside the United States. The OED 2nd
edn. notes "tinkertoy" as "orig. and chiefly U.S., the proprietary
name of a type of child's construction set; a toy made of this; also
fig.", and for example cites "1972 Newsweek 19 June 23/3 McGovern will
go into the campaign against Nixon with those Tinkertoy proposals of his."
It would be especially helpful if I could discover usage among
scientists, physicists in particular, who are claimed to use the term
to describe a deliberately over-simplified model.

Thanks.

Subject: Romantic literature

On behalf of a colleague I am looking for a discussion group devoted
to Romantic English literature or, more generally, early 19th-century
English lit., esp. prose fiction. I have checked the recently
published (and exellent) list of academic discussion groups by Kovacs
et al.

Thanks.

Subject: Q: Peter Shaffer

Dear Subscribers,

A friend of mine, a graduate student of English, is writing a
thesis on Peter Shaffer's most recent play, _The_Gift_of_the_Gorgon_.
Since the play was first published only two years ago no literature
is available on it in our university library.

Could any of you recommend some review or other publication on this
play? My friend would also appreciate a general "reading list"
on Peter Shaffer.

Please, reply directly to me.

Thank you in advance.
