    Dear Charo de Felipe and Ramesh

    Some of the early publications by Sinclair have appeared in the following
    collection, such as his 1966 'beginning the study of lexis' paper:

    Foley, J. A. (Ed.). (1996). *J M Sinclair on Lexis and Lexicography*. Singapore:
    UniPress.

    The 1970 OSTI report is not included there, though.

    cheers
    tony.
