[Sigcr-l] question on The Power To Tag 12|03

[Sanna K Talja]

Hi 

This is the list I've given to students and though I admit it is outdated (I'm on research leave)  you might find some of this useful.

There are a couple of new interesting articles in the latest J Doc issue. What I suggest students to do is follow references forward from Kipp and Campbell :)
