Frog Story

[Kelley Sacco]

Dear frog story researcher,

a follow-up volume to Berman and Slobin's 1994 "Relating events in
narrative" is under way. The 1994 volume had an appendix describing work and
on-going projects based on the frog story. In order to update that appendix,
we are now circulating the below questionnaire.

Please describe your project/data with respect to the following categories.
Please start writing immediately after the underscore (the underscore and
the preceding tab makes it easier for us to paste your questionnaire onto a
spread sheet and create a database). Immediately following the
questionnaire/form, there is an example of how it is to be filled in.

Please fill in the below form and send it to

sven.stromqvist at ling.lu.se

before July 10 2002

Thanks for your cooperation!

Sven Stromqvist
