[lojban] Re: [nues@chello.at: Sapir-Whorf]
I'm currently studying at U of M, so I did a quick search for Prof
Alexis Manaster-Ramer. He still shows up in the directory as as
"Visiting Scholar", but I don't think he is here anymore. There are
several other individuals who refer to him, but nothing of his in terms
of a contact. He does have a contact page on the Wayne State University
site. http://linguistics.wayne.edu/faculty/ramer.html and I would
venture that his email address at U of M (manaster@umich.edu) is still
valid or it wouldn't be in the directory still.

Recalling where you are located, Matt, several years ago I intrigued
Alexis Manaster-Ramer, a noted UofM linguistics professor in some
research applications for Lojban - not SWH. No idea if he still
remembers us - I'm sure I have the correspondence somewhere on my
computer (I helped him on his Nostratic proto-language research).
He'd be one of the people I would start with if I were trying again to
stir up some interest in research in the linguistics community - but I
don't even know if he is still at UofM.
