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.

Subject:  "counting-out" rhymes



Dear Linguists,

I am doing research on counting-out rhymes, i.e. children's rhymes
used to designate, usually through elimination, a central player in
games like tag or hide and seek. I am familiar with the literature on
counting-out rhymes in English (e.g., Abrahams & Rankin, Opie,
Sutton-Smith) and French (Baucomont et al., Laforte) and am
particularly interested in information on c-o-r in non-IE languages. I
would greatly appreciate  any information you could provide in the
areas listed below. I will be happy to post a summary of the results.

-References to studies, collections and recordings.
-Observations concerning form (especially metrics and rhythm),
content, function, sociolinguistic variables (age, sex, social class),
etc.
-Example(s) of (popular) counting-out rhymes used at present
(with the following information)
1) language or dialect
2) country, region or geographical area
3) words for "counting-out rhyme", "to count out", "counting-out",
etc.
4) name(s) of central player, often called "It" in English, who chases
or seeks other players

Does anybody know how I can contact William Pagliuca and Jaap van
Marle?  I've tried all the usual sources (google search, LinguistList,
LSA, etc.), but have not been able to find their current email
addresses.

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Best regards,
Rich Epstein
