I didn't get many responses, so I thought I would post the query in this list on the offchance that there are DM list members who don't subscribe to Linguistlist queries. If you are thinking of answering, check the fuller presentation under: www.linguistlist.org/issues/15/15-1346.html#1 I will summarise any responses I get on the Linguistlist in a while.

The Linguist List is proud to support listservs such as this one as part of it's commitment to the linguistics community. This commitment comes with a price however.

The LINGUIST List is currently having a fund-drive. If you find the list you are reading now to be a valuable resourse, please consider supporting LINGUIST, which underwrites the cost.
