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.

At the moment I'm writing my thesis about named entity recognition in
texts.  I wonder if there is any research on Zipf's law and proper
names (if Zipf's law can be applied to proper names as well). I have
been searching the internet and several libraries but haven't found
anything. Maybe someone at linguistlist can help me.  Thanks a lot in
advance.  Pia

Dear all,

A student of mine is carrying out a research on modal (or discourse)
particles in Danish. We would appreciate any recent references on the
topic. If the number of answers is relevant, a summary will be posted
to the list.

Very thankful,
