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.

Hi!

I'm looking for cartoons and comics about (the short comings of)
natural language processing. I'd like to use them for lectures
(Introduction to NLP, ...) and for a newspaper article about a new
project: "Interactive NLP". Any hints? (I found a lot about computers
and language use but nothing specific NLPish)

Results will be presented at my homepage.

Thanks a lot!

Subject:  Restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses

For purposes of a study on prosodic phrasing, we would like to know of
languages in which restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses
are reliably distinguished lexically or syntactically (e.g., by the
form of the relative pronoun).
