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

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.

Dear Linguist,

I'd like to ask you for your help. Can you please ask your Native 
American English friends or students to take part in my experiments?

My perception experiments were made online with the help of our Lab 
engineer. There are 3 smaller experiments. The links are:

<http://fonetiek.ullet.net/cui/epe/index1.html> (to listen and judge 
English vowels)
<http://fonetiek.ullet.net/cui/epe/index2.html> (to listen and judge 
English consonants at the beginning of a word)
<http://fonetiek.ullet.net/cui/epe/index3.html> (to listen and judge 
English consonants at the end of a word)
 
There are a few points to tell your friends/students first:
-- Only the native speaker of American English can do the experiments, 
which means they have to choose this option at the section of 
questionnaire.
-- Only the Internet Explorer (IE) can be used. The experiments won't 
run on other browsers like Firefox or Google Chrome, because of our 
low-technique.
-- Computers with a bigger screen are preferred since bigger screen 
can display the complete table.
-- At the very beginning, there might be an error message saying 
something about .xml file, click OK to continue. The experiment runs 
after this.
 
It is best that the same person does all the three experiments, of 
course one after another, but not at the same go. It will be tiring if one 
person tries two of the experiments at one go. 
 
I very much appreciate your help. This means a lot to my dissertation, 
and of course to my research.
 
Best Wishes,
