Comparative Semantics project is based on the premise that language families or languages with cultural affinities are likely to lexicalize or express concepts within a semantic domain in similar ways. He is preparing a paper for Notes on Linguistics which will describe his work on the domain of 'Alienation and Reconciliation' in several languages.Paul Thomas (Eastern Congo Group) joined the department in August. He is working with Les on the Comparative Semantics project, as well as helping with administrative tasks. Discourse Materials Projects: Martha Martens (Indonesia) is working with me to collect discourse materials for use inworkshops, and in the LinguaLinks library. Ivan Lowe, Austin Hale and I are beginning a project designed to write a discourse analysis manual which will link analytical procedures and techniques with issues involved in discourse analysis and translation. French-English Linguistic Glossary.In Jannary 1997, the Department reactivated the French-English Linguistic glossary project.This work is based on the glossary originally compiled by Thomas Bearth in 1972. Thomas coordinates the project from Switzerland where he is a professor at the University of Zurich. Chuck and Carole Fennig work part-time here in the Department normalizing data, researching and adding entries. In October, Thomas spent a week in the department working with the Fennigs. Thomas is a newly appointed International Linguistics Advisor to SlL. When he visited in October he left copies of papers which he has recently written or published and they portray his current research interests. Some of the titles are:Inferential and counter-inferential grammatical markers in Swahili dialogue, Nominal periphrasis and the origin of the predicative marker in Mande languages-L-an alternative
