Title: Title VI reauthorization -- heritage community study
Body: From: "sm167" Good day, all, On September 25, the House Education and Workforce Committee reported out HR 3077, the "International Studies in Higher Education Act of 2003". One of the two amendments offered by Representative Rush Holt (D-NJ) authorized the Secretary of Education "to conduct a study to identify foreign language heritage communities, particularly such communities that include speakers of languages that are critical to the national security of the United States". The amendment was approved. Because of message length limitations on Majordomo, I can't send you a copy of the bill -- but if you're interested in further information, let me know, and I'll forward it to you directly. Best to all, s.

Title: Senior Research Fellow, MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology
Body: From Holger Diessel (diessel@EVA.MPG.DE) 15 Sep 2003: The Department of Linguistics of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig) seeks candidates for one five-year (non-renewable) senior research fellowship in linguistics. The candidate should be able to make contributions to the department's areas of research. The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology studies human diversity and human origins in a multidisciplinary perspective. The contribution of linguistics to this goal lies in the study of the history and prehistory of languages (and peoples) around the world (especially non-European languages), as well as the current diversity of human languages (linguistic fieldwork on little-described and endangered languages and language typology). The Department of Linguistics collaborates with the Department of Evolutionary Genetics to compare the evidence from both fields for the prehistory of human populations. The largest current collaborative projects of the Department of Linguistics are the Intercontinental Dictionary Series, the World Atlas of Language Structures, and the Project on Typology of Loanwords. More information on these and other projects is available on the institute's website (see below). The senior research fellow is expected to come with a flexible research agenda that fits into the department's current foci. S/he should be ready to contribute to collaborative projects, and s/he will have the opportunity to propose collaborative projects him/herself. Regular participation in the department's talks, seminars and workshops is expected. Except for approved absences (e.g. fieldwork, conferences, vacation), the place of work is Leipzig. The fellowship is available from 01 January 2004, but a later starting date may be negotiated. Senior research fellows must have their PhD in hand, and normally at least two years of post-PhD research experience, before the starting date. There are no teaching obligations, but the opportunity for teaching in the linguistics program of the University of Leipzig exists. Good knowledge of English is required. Applicants are requested to send a C.V., statement of research interests, two letters of recommendation, and a sample of written work on a relevant topic to: Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Personnel Administration Prof. Dr. Bernard Comrie - Senior research fellow position - Deutscher Platz 6 D-01403 Leipzig Germany fax: +49 341 35 50 333 e-mail: comrie@eva.mpg.de Deadline for receipt of applications: 31 October 2003 The Institute's URL is: http://www.eva.mpg.de/

Title: On-line language maps of the Americas (and elsewhere)
Body: From SSILA (delancey@darkwing.uoregon.edu) The website of the TITUS Project ("Thesaurus Indogermanischer Text- und Sprachmaterialien") -- a European collaborative effort spearheaded by the Institute of Comparative Linguistics at University of Frankfurt -- is primarily devoted to providing access to a broad spectrum of research materials on Indo-European. The site also has some teaching materials available, and among these is a set of detailed on-line language maps. These range far beyond Indo-European. Good maps of the Turkic family, of Siberian languages, and of the languages of China are included, and coverage has recently been extended to the Americas. There are three basic maps -- North, Central, and South America -- but each expands into more detailed areal maps by clicking. They can be accessed at: North America: http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/karten/amer/namerim.htm Mexico and Central America: http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/karten/amer/mamerim.htm South America: http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/karten/amer/samerim.htm (Jost Gippert, of the TITUS Project, deserves a hearty round of applause for designing and uploading these accurate and useful tools.)
