Subject:  Ethical Considerations of Research with Vulnerable Populations

Greetings!  I'm a graduate student in Communication Sciences &
Disorders, with an emphasis on early speech acquisition.  My
dissertation research will explore the phonetic properties of early
speech in Quechua.  While a lot of research has been conducted on
language-impaired populations in my discipline, there has been very
little cross-cultural research.  Can anyone steer me towards research
on ethical considerations of working with minority populations within
a new cultural context?  I'd also appreciate information on any
studies exploring phonetic properties of Quechua.

Respond to me and I'll summarize to the list.

Thanks!

Could anyone point me in the direction of any material on the use of
personal pronouns and their use as indicators of position or power
relationships. I'm thinking mainly of English personal pronouns as used
in drama - 'thee' and 'you' in dramatic texts, and the somewhat (to my
mind) paradoxical use of 'thee' in liturgical language (the second person
pronoun being the familiar form), not only in English, but in other
European languages aswell. How do personal pronouns indicate power
relationships in other languages? How are they manipulated by writers for
dramatic effect?

I need some help.  Does anyone happen to know if Vietnamese allows
thematic verb-raising, that is, allows an adverb to come between the V
and NP as in "John eats slowly his dinner"?  I would greatly
appreciate any information on this. Thanks.  Margaret Albers
