Call for Interest in Economic History of the Eastern Bloc Countries
between 1945 and 1989

Working on the economic history of East Germany in the time
of the socialist system we wish to get in contact with younger
scholars who are active in the field of economic history
of the Eastern Bloc and whose investigations are based mainly on the
files in the archives of these countries. It doesn't matter wether
your interests are directed more to the institutional arrangements and
their changes or to the economic performance of firms, branches or the
whole economy. To promote the comparision of results for different countries
it could be usefull to build up a communication network. If there
is sufficient response it might be further possible to organize a
workshop or conference.

If you are interested in communication about our research topics or in
a possible conference, please send a letter or an email to

                  Andre Steiner
                  Seminar fuer Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte
                  Universitaet Mannheim
                  68131 Mannheim
                  Germany

                  mail: 

If you know colleagues who are not on the internet but
might be interested too, please forward this message to them.

Szervusz Joe,
Gotthard took his young relatives from Hungary to King's Dominion the
day before, and suffered severe skin and brain damage during that intense
immerge into the American mainstream culture.
I could not go for the talk, sorry, if he was there, I must have missed a big
one. Frankly, I have never met a single Romanian in my life .
I will ask some folks this Sunday, when the father of all Hungarians,
Gyula Horn will talk about what left of Hungary after Trianon.

Szeretnem lemondani az hungary-t, de a hix nem reagal az
 -ra. Koszonom a segitseget!

I humbly admit that for the definitions of pidgins and creoles I looked
up authorities, I didn't make them up. The qualification as
"impoverished" is by no means derogatory. With the ad hoc communication
between people in contact it is inevitable to carry a full vocabulary
(but definitely more that a few words), there may be inconsistent choice
of words from the participating language which may change; and clearly
the finesses of grammar cannot be included. I don't know if the practice
of writers with novels taking place in what was then exotic countries,
namely have the natives use only infinitives of verbs was "literally"
true. but such simplifications are indeed found when people wish to
develop fast communication. Yet all this is an unnatural situation (no
disparagement meant) and if the contact is durable and one of the
languages does not win out, the mixture develops its own grammar and
enriches its vocabulary. I believe it is in New Guinean Creole that the
dative is expressed by GA. For some reason "to" didn't work, but there
was English GO that could do the job.
        And now the main sacrilege: how do you think English lost its
declension (except for an almost obsolete -M with pronouns - 'S is not
one of this, it comes from the reduction of HIS).
        Let me stop here. Greetings, Robert

I am surprised the not even a passing mention was made of the syrupy
version SZIOKA. Its only relevance is to show that frequently used words
can undergo the craziest changes.       Ciao,           Robert

While I'm at it, I may as well introduce myself. I've been lurking this
list for a week or so now. I find the discussion very interesting. I joined
because I thought some folks here might not yet have discovered my new
online publication, The Hungary Report. I know many of you are already
subscribers, but I suppose not everyone here knows of it still. Then I've
forgotten to do anything about it, like post a message as to how to sign
up. So here it is.

Cheers,

Rick
