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

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

Dear All,

I am writing a PhD thesis on language attitudes and I am looking for 
professors working at British universities who could forward some 
information to their students and ask them to fill in my Google Docs 
online questionnaire. Below is the text I send to my respondents:

I am conducting research into language attitudes for my PhD thesis. I 
am looking for native speakers of British English (mono- or bilingual) 
aged 18 to 25 who would like anonymously to complete a questionnaire 
that can be found at the following address:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?
formkey=dGpvcGZWdWlvWTFETGlNQWg0NHVVT2c6MA

The subject matter of my survey makes me prefer respondents who do 
not specialise in sociolinguistics or normative linguistics. If you would 
like to help me please visit the webpage and to take the questionnaire, 
please provide the following password: mratajq13. 

If your scholarly interests include sociolinguistics, normative linguistics 
or the Slavic languages, in particular Polish, and you need advice, 
information or linguistics-related translation, do not hesitate to contact 
me via e-mail, providing the above-mentioned password in the title of 
your message.

Thank you in advance.

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!
