> >"Literacy Across Cultures", which we made available last year in an e-mail
> >form to LINGUIST LIST members, is now being made available to you in two
> >ways. (If you are on the official mailing list, you have already received a
> >notice about this as well as installment one of LAC 6 in a plain text
> >e-mail.)
> >
> >Anyway, the two ways to get the new issue are:
> >
> >(1) in PDF form (you need Adobe Acrobat Reader 3 or 3, English or Japanese).
> >
> >(2) in plain text e-mail form (you need to send an e-mail address so that
> >you can be added to the egroup we run to distribute LAC).
> >
> >PLEASE SEND AN E-MAIL TITLED "LAC PDF" FOR (1) AND "LAC TXT" FOR (2).
> >
> >Send to < jannuzi@mint.ocn.ne.jp >.
> >
> >Asking for the PDF also means I'll put you on the egroup mailing list for
> >LAC, but you can always remove yourself at anytime. The PDF is 264 kb, so be
> >ready for a rather lengthy download if you connect using a slow modem.
> >
> >Also, we ask that instead of forwarding LAC to others who are interested,
> >that you direct them to me so I can officially subscribe them to our mailing
> >list. Again, anyone can always leave the list, but it makes it easier to
> >keep track of everyone this way and saves me, the co-ordinator, time.
> >
> >Here is an outline of what is in the current issue of LAC, so that you can
> >have some idea if you are interested in receiving a copy or not.
