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.

This year, Marantz has launched a portable CD recorder (Marantz
CDR300) which lets you record interviews directly to CD-R discs that
will play back in any CD player, and also has the possibility to run
from a 12v battery source. Has anyone used this new technology and can
you recommend it?

Subject:  Request for Information about Human Subjects

Dear all,

At our university, there has been a recent crackdown on matters
concerning the use of human subjects in research. This crackdown has
raised serious questions about the extent to which linguistic research
(of the medically non-invasive sort) qualifies for 'exempt' status
according to federal guidelines. From what I can gather, for example,
the simple act of tape recording a data-elicitation session
disqualifies one from an exemption.

I'd like to know if this matter has been raised at other
universities. If so, how was it handled? While I am amenable to
hearing "horror stories," I'd also like to get some constructive
suggestions as to how I might interact with our compliance officer to
address linguistics-specific concerns.

Please address any contributions to the discussion to me directly; if
there is sufficient response, I will post a summary to the list.

Non-compliantly yours,

-David Silva

I am researching preteen and teenage slang. Can you direct me to where
I can find the most common slang words used by these groups.

Thank you.
