CELTLING The Electronic Email list for the theoretical linguistics of the Modern Celtic Languages ********************************************** Information Sheet WHAT IS CELTLING? Celtling is an unmoderated email list for the discussion of theoretical syntax, morphology, phonology, and phonetics of the Modern Celtic Languages (Irish, Scots Gaelic, Manx, Welsh Breton, and Cornish). WHO OWNS CELTLING? The list is a private email list owned by Andrew Carnie and operated through the listserver at Project Athena at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Owner's address: Andrew Carnie Department of Linguistics and Philosophy 20D-219, MIT 77 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge MA 02139 acarnie@mit.edu As a list operated through MIT, Subscribers to Celtling are subject to the rules of Conduct for Electronic Mail as set out by Project Athena and MIT. Violation of these rules will result in removal from the list. HOW DO I SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE? Send email to acarnie@mit.edu Requests for subscription will take 36 hours to process HOW DO I POST: Send mail to celtling@mit.edu WHAT ARE APPROPRIATE SUBJECTS OF DISCUSSION ON THIS LIST? Any aspect of the Syntax Semantics Phonology Morphology Phonology Phonetics of the Modern Celtic Languages. Book/paper/conference announcements. All frameworks of linguistics (Generative or Descriptive) are welcome. WHAT IS **INAPPROPRIATE**? This list is for the discussion of Theoretical Linguistics of the modern Celtic Languages. Thus, the following topics have been (quite arbitrarly) declared inappropriate for this list. orthography etymology The Pedagogy of the Celtic Languages Sociolinguistic concerns* Dialectology* computational concerns* Historical concerns* *unless directly relevant to the discussion of the syntax, phonology, morphology, or phonetics of the Modern Languages. Discussion of the above should be directed to Gaelic-L@irlearn.ucd.ie, Welsh-L@irlearn.ucd.ie, or Celtic-L@irlearn.ucd.ie. It should be noted that the owner feels that the above topics are valid topics for discussion and academic pursuit, but are not appropriate to a list on theoretical linguistics, when other lists exist for these purposes. WHAT LANGUAGES CAN I POST IN? English, Irish, Scots Gaelic, Manx, Breton, Welsh, Cornish. But please remember that not everyone on the list necessarily speaks YOUR celtic language. The owner suggests then that English be the Lingua Franca for the list. WHAT IS IN THE WORKS? By March 1, 1994, an FTP server should be available for the distribution of papers about Celtic Linguistics. Keeps your eyes open for the announcement! Further Questions?
