We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then  strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list.   This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

Dear listmembers,
We're students of English at Bonn University, and we are conducting a survey
on genderlects for our term paper in Linguistics. Therefore we would like
you
to fill in the questionnaire at http://www.summertime.net/umfrage
as a basis of our project.
We would be very grateful if you could spare a few minutes to support our
research.
Thank you very much for your participation!
The results will be published online.
The URL for this will then be found on the "LINGUIST list"

Con frecuencia en el lenguaje hablamos de eventos y procesos (y
tambien de situaciones y resultados) como si fueran entes (entidades).
P.ej.:" [La destruccion de los judios de europa por los nazis durante la 2da
guerra mundial] podemos colocarla
entre las catastrofes mas grandes del milenio que acaba de concluir."

?Ha utilizado alguien el termino 'entificacion' para referirse a este
fenomeno?  Dado que cuantificar es convertir algo en una cantidad, ?que es
convertir algo en una entidad? ?Entificar?
