ANNOUNCEMENT:  NEW LIST SERVER

The University of California at Irvine (UCI) has been home to the 
Thesaurus Linguae Graecae Project (TLG) since 1972 and is now embarking 
upon a second major computer-based project aimed at conversion of the 
Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (TLL) into electronic form.  With the location 
at UCI of both these electronic resources, it is to be expected that, in 
long-range terms, UCI will become a major focal point of lexicographic 
and linguistic research in ancient Greek and Latin.  Thus it only makes 
sense to institute here a new list server called LEXI, which is intended 
to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of issues related 
to the Greek and Latin languages and lexicography.

In addition, the list server can constitute a vehicle for obtaining 
information, and responding to inquiries about the progress of work on 
both TLG and the electronic version of TLL.

Although the focus of LEXI will be primarily on Greek and Latin language 
and lexicography, the list server can also be used to deal with issues of 
a more general nature.  Furthermore, departments, institutions, and 
projects wishing to make general announcements about projects in 
progress, conferences, and available resources should feel free to use 
LEXI as a bulletin board for posting such information, as well as for 
making the appropriate cross-postings.

To subscribe to LEXI, send the following message (no subject) to 
listserv@uci.edu:
