Dear All,<br>
I just received a request to be an anthropological expert by
Huffington<br>
Post on a topic I know nothing about -- the terms people use to
describe<br>
unmarried significant others. <br>
But perhaps someone on this list would be interested in talking <br>
about this on very short notice. If you are, please contact Erika
Larose (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:erika.larose@huffingtonpost.com">erika.larose@huffingtonpost.com</a>).<br>
<br>
Here is the request:<br>
<br>
<pre wrap="">We're producing a segment on what unmarried significant others call
each other when "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" is insufficient. We'd love to
know if you're available to join us via webcam (or recommend other experts)
to discuss how English compares to other languages in this respect.
The segment airs *tomorrow, October 16th at 5:15pm EDT.* I'd be happy to
provide further details!
Best regards,
Erika Larose
