Having problems with message search?
Dear Sir
I am engaged in building of mathematical foundations and computer programs for grammatical operations of english language like tense conversion, dircet to indirect narrations, conversion of sentences from active voice to passive voice (affirmative as well as imperative sentences) by using concepts of mathematical logic, set theroy and abstract algebra and in the development of models for the statistical aspects of all languages.If this type of work is of any interest to you then feel free to write me how we can work in collobration.
Expecting reply from your end.

I have thought of this old book when I have read your message
