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

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.

We are conducted a research project for the Department of English 
and Linguistics of the University of Mainz in Germany. We are a group 
of three students and we are writing a term paper on ''bilingual puns'' 
for our senior seminar ''Contrastive Linguistics: English-German with 
Prof. Callies.


Since it is not easy to access a sufficient amount of bilingual puns 
(preferably English and German but otherwise, we would include any 
other European language as well), we would like to ask you whether 
you have a data base that we could use for our investigations and our 
analysis.

We really would appreciate your help. Thank you very much in 
advance.

Yours sincerely,

Laura Brauer, Julia Schäfer and Nicole Weinheimer
