ETHNOLINGUISTIC NOTES, Series 4

I completed the last Note of Series 3 in 1993. For several reasons I decided not to continue the Series. In particular, the University Computing Center’s printer that I had been using had been removed from use. But I was retired by that time, and this mode of production and distribution no longer appealed to me. The World Wide Web was becoming more available and seemed to offer more interesting possibilities.

Moreover, the Notes of Series 3 had gradually become longer so that they seemed less suited to the original title or the original objective. Anyway, in 1995 I began a new series on line. I originally planned for it to be quite different from Series 3. They were to be short and adapted to “the hypermedia possibilities of this means of publication”. The first several actually are short, but only the first attempted to use a different format that exploited the hypermedia possibilities. In that first one (ELN Series 4, no. 1), I tried making the main text little more than an abstract where the main points were presented without elaboration, but where each was linked to an endnote that provided fuller details.
