We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is

     Phonology Theory Survey for Teachers

        This is a survey of how phonological theory is taught and learned
     in introductory courses, including graduate level Phonology I and II.
     I have been investigating the most common conceptual difficulties for
     students of phonology and would appreciate your help. You need not
     have taught it recently to answer the survey. Summary posted with
     sufficient response.

     Thanks in advance,
     Beaumont Brush
