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

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.

Dear list members,

we are running an experiment in which we ask people to judge the
acceptability of derivational verb forms in English. The idea is to
investigate if and to what extent prefix verbs (and which of these) in
English are acceptable in different contexts and how their productivity can
be measured.

We would like to ask any native speaker of English (and proficient
non-native speakers) who have a few minutes to spare to help us complete
the experiment.
To participate, simply click on the following url:

The experiment should not take more than 10 minutes of your time.

We would be very grateful for any feedback, comments and suggestions.
Many thanks for your time,

Anne Schröder
