[mailto:cllt-bounces@mailman.rice.edu]On Behalf Of Michael Barlow

Hi All,
I moved to New Zealand! I resigned from Rice University and have taken up an
Assoc. Prof. position in the Dept of Applied Language Studies and
Linguistics at the University of Auckland. The university is letting me hold
a permanent 6-month position here and so I'll be in Auckland from January
until the end of June each year. This arrangement gives me some flexibility
for writing, as well as for travelling, giving talks, workshops etc. for
second half of the year when I will be based in Houston.
I am looking into the possibility of getting a round-the-world airline
ticket, which would allow me to visit a variety of places later on in the
year. Send me email (personally, not via the list) if you'd like to explore
possibilities for a visit to your institution.
At some point the CLLT list will also move to Auckland. I first have to talk
to the IT people here about setting up a listserv. I will send email later
concerning the new address and procedures.
Michael

For those of you unfamiliar with MonoConc, a bit of explanation as to why
Michael Barlow cannot be allowed to disappear from the scene, however
beautiful his new surroundings and enviable his arrangements. Not everyone
will agree with me about this, but then some discussion on the topic would
be useful for everyone who cares about text-analysis.
I am particularly fond of Michael's creation, MonoConc, because it offers
everything one needs to teach the essentials of text-analysis from a corpus
linguistics perspective, it does what it does very quickly, it does not
require huge amounts of disk space AND it can be mastered by an attentive
undergraduate in 5-10 minutes. Certainly there are functions that I value
which it does not have and other packages do, but for the basics and for
teaching purposes I have not found a piece of software to match it.
Disagreements welcome, as always.
Yours,
WM
