<p class=""><span style="line-height:115%">Dear
Colleagues:</span></p>
<p class=""><span style="line-height:115%">I
am conducting a survey on </span>research methods among documentary linguists. This
study focuses in particular on factors that hinder or facilitate collaboration between
linguists and community members. This is a revamped version of a previously
distributed survey, and <b style>previous respondents
are highly encouraged to take the survey again</b>, as a number of questions
have been added, changed, or clarified in response to suggestions from
survey-takers and attendees of the International Conference on Language
Documentation and Conservation. </p>
<p class=""><span style="line-height:115%">If
you have conducted linguistic fieldwork on a less-commonly studied language
(including your own native language or a dormant language), I would be very
grateful if you could complete this survey. It should take no longer than 15
minutes to complete</span>, and the data will not be linked to your identity in
any way<span style="line-height:115%">:</span></p>

<p class=""><span style="line-height:115%">I
would also be very grateful if you could forward this invitation to any other
individuals or groups. </span></p>

you,</span><br>
