The ibiblio url in the earlier trasnmissions from John desmond and Rhonda will give you the location you should write to. You might also write to LIBRARIAN at the St. Tammany Parish Library on 21st St. Covington 70433 and ask to be sent notices of the yearly seminar they do. Some very good speakers and writers.

I have really enjoyed Alejandro Gonz?lez I??rritu's previous two movies (Amoress Perros (sp?) and 21 Grams). While the movie offers no insights about language acquistion, it does offer some insights on the confusion that language can bring. (Since the movie focuses on language and that one of the main characters is deaf, I thought that it might be an appropriate discussion on this somewhat comatose listserv.) I think that the deaf girl's attempt to "connect" through language is very moving and disturbing. Sitting at the tomb and awaiting a resurrection, -David
