<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Dear fellow CORPORA subscriber</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'd like to ask you to send me your estimate of prefabrication in the essay I posted on 28 February. I gave Alison Wray's definition but would be pleased to hear from researchers using a different model (that's why I've used three competing terms in the subject). Those who have replied told me it didn't take them very long to respond. After looking at the results from you, the experts, I'll compare with results from a similar number of advanced Portuguese learners. I'll post any results but will also make all the data available to people who ask for it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Ps I gave St. Patrick's Day (17/3/05) as the pencilled-in deadline but I realize that some of you might only find time for this next weekend which would be fine.</FONT></P>
