Dateline: Saturday, 24 October 1998

Whew! It's been a long time since I put some decent work into this site (I've been enjoying a little post-graduate school procrastination), but here finally is an important update for pause researchers.  The Bibliography page has been expanded and includes links to individual pages with abstracts and notes about each reference I have found useful in my study of filled pauses.  Transferring my notes to the site is still in-progress, but academic researchers may already get a lot of use out of the abstracts therein. Visit the Bibliography page soon to find articles useful to your research!
