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

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 all,

A PhD student of mine, working on syntactic & semantic connections between
TOUGH-constructions and middle constructions (This shirt washes easily /
this shirt is easy to wash) is desperately seeking a substantial corpus for
middles, not necessarily tagged, but preferably including some right and
left context. Could anyone help? 

Thanks in advance, and merry Xmas to all of you!
