I have a friend who needs to convert some old (of course) files from
Wang to Word -- if you know any firm that does this, and have an opinion
of their expertise, I would appreciate hearing either or both.

Dear DM-L,
There was a problem with the Digital Medievalist website today owing
to outgoing network problems at the University of Lethbridge, where
the site is hosted. The newsfeed for the site is hosted elsewhere (at
wordpress.com) and imported into the DM site as an atom feed. The
XInclude fallback (that says the news is temporarily unavailable) was
not being displayed reliably in all cases, and this was have a
derogatory effect on the rest of the site. Now that uleth.ca is again
seeing the outside world the problem seems to have rectified itself,
but we will be taking steps to attempt to minimize such disruptions in
the future.
Apologies to anyone who attempted to use the site in the meantime.
Sincerely,
Dr James Cummings

Hi all,
has anyone experience about how to use TEI to encode phonemic (and
possibly phonetic) information in a text transcription? Also I would
love to hear from people not using TEI for this purpose, I know there
exist several software suitable for text analysis and classification
(f.i. I've been pointed to this one:
http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/).
A couple of examples:
1. fallan
I would like to mark the first 'a' in OE fallan as an /a/ and assign it
to the OAngl dialect.
2. giong, geong, gong
These are all graphical variants of an initial /jo/ diphtong, with
geo- and gio- being graphical conventions to point to a palatal
pronunciation of initial g.
After the encoding is done the goal is to recover statistical
information (via XSLT or specific sw analysis) about the percentages of
dialect tracts in a text, so to draw conclusions about its origin, date,
etc.
Thanks in advance.
