================================================================  

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.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at

In order to complete a perception study, I would like to obtain additional
data from two kinds of experiments which I made available online.

The first experiment http://www.inter-word.net/identity/ requires listening
to two word fragments and deciding whether these two fragments were
identical or not. Native speakers of all languages can participate in this
experiment.

The second study http://www.inter-word.net/hoeren/ involves also listening
to word fragments. The task, however, is to identify the whole word of
which the initial fragment is taken. Fragments increase in length
throughout the experiment until the whole word will be presented. Only
native speakers of German should participate in this experiment.

Thank you to all participants!

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $55,000. This money will go to help keep the

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can 
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit 
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more 
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift 
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human 
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns 
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the 
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
