Please send me the editorial rules. I do not yet know if I will have the time to write the article, but I might as well have a try! It will of course be in English.

Dear collegue,
I've read your message in the List and was very interested by the material
you mentioned. Would you like to publish it? In our University (Algarve,
Portugal) we have an yearly journal called "Estudos de Literatura Oral",
dedicated to the study of all genres of oral literature from all countries.
If you want to write an article including some of those songs, we would be
very happy to consider it for publication in our issue #6, to be published
in 2000. If you want to do it, I can send you our editorial rules.
Thank you very much for your atention.
J. J. Dias Marques, Vice-director of E. L. O.
