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

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

Hello,

I am a Master's student writing a thesis on expressions of guilt and 
remorse in the English and Russian languages. I am conducting a 
survey as part of my research, and I need your help.

I would be very grateful if you would give about 10 minutes of your time 
and take part in the survey. Also, if you have friends, family, 
colleagues, or students that would be willing to take this survey as well, 
I would very much appreciate if you could pass it on to them.

As for confidentiality, the survey results will not identify an individual 
participant. The questions are hypothetical and very general. Also, 
your computer's IP address will not be included when you submit the 
survey, so I will not have any information about the computer you used 
to take it. While the survey is expected to take about 10 minutes, you 
are free to take as much time with it as you like. If, for any reason, you 
wish to abandon the survey at any moment, you are welcome to do so 
as well.

You have to be at least 18 years old to participate in this survey.

The link below takes you to the survey. If you have any questions, you 
can contact me at sleviti at calstatela.edu. Thank you in advance for all 
your help!

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
