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

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.

To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at

Volunteers needed; language experiment 

I would be very grateful for your assistance with a language experiment via
the Web. I'm collecting data in a study about dialogue segmentation -
seeking to work out how speakers recognize structure in an extended
conversation.

You can take part in this experiment very simply by using your computer.

Here's the link: 
http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~fontor/research/segments/intro.html

The experiment takes about 10-15 minutes; 5 or so minutes to read the
helpful guide, and 5 to complete the exercise in dialogue segmentation.

All participation is voluntary and anonymous. No information about you will
be requested or collected.

This research has been approved by the UWA Human Research Ethics Committee.

Thank you,
