Jewels/Socrates network.
The Socrates Thematic Network of Speech Communication Sciences has asked the permission to create a bilateral link between its web-site and CPLOL's web-site. The Thematic network has been working mostly on the integration of speech science studies (phonetics, computer linguistics communication engineering) in Europe and on recommendation that speech science studies should be included in the education of speech-language therapists. For that part, its work has paralleled CPLOL's work. The network is by no means competing with CPLOL, but proposing collaboration in providing all available information in web for those interested in speech and language studies. I will include the address below.
