On the topic of "Access to and aid from native experts", I was drawn
to look at "Using non-LT experts to do LT annotation tasks". In
hunting for material, I got away from that a bit and into using LT to
support language learning (with input and support from native
experts), but I think it holds as a coherent topic.

<P>Here's a proposed menu of readings - each is relatively short. Feel
free to suggest additions or alternatives, or tell me that this is too
little, or too much. I won't be offended. PDFs are attached.
