list, but a moderated one. So
each message is organized into an issue with like messages by our student
editors before it is posted.) Our experience has been that almost everyone
chooses to post in English. But we do link to a translation facility that will
present our pages in any of 5 languages; so a subscriber need not read Linguist
in English unless s/he wishes to. We also try to have at least one student
editor who is genuinely multilingual, so that readers can correspond with us in
languages other than English.

*Interview of July 26, 1999

= What has happened since our last interview?

We are beginning to collect some primary data. For example, we have searchable
databases of dissertation abstracts relevant to linguistics, of information on
graduate and undergraduate linguistics programs, and of professional information
about individual linguists. The dissertation abstracts collection is, to my
knowledge, the only freely available electronic compilation in existence.
