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

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.

I'm doing a web-based survey on an aspect of English pronunciation
variation.  I would be grateful to the members of this list if
you could contribute with your own pronunciation preferences.

   It takes 2-3 minutes to complete.  A report on the results
will be available at the end of this week.  The address is:

http://languagestore.com/survey?ll

   (The "ll" is for Linguist List; I want to have the ability
to separate your replies from those of the general public if
it becomes necessary.)  Responses by Wednesday night will be
included in the initial report; however, I will accept responses
after that also.

Greetings all

Could anybody point me to the location of non-English tagged corpora.
Ideally, they will also be proof read as accuracy is important.
Although any languages will be useful, I am especially interested in
highly inflected languages like Latin.
