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

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.

I am a Phd student at the University of Salamanca (Spain) and I am 
doing research on the influence that some properties of the words 
might have in the ease at which they are produced as members of 
certain categories in a second language.

One of the factors we are considering is the similarity between words 
and their equivalents in the L2. In order to find cognates and false 
friends, a translation-elicitation task has been designed. This test asks 
volunteers from the USA to guess the translation of some Spanish 
words. Participants must be American English native speakers who 
have never studied Spanish.

If you fulfill the requirements and if you can spare the time, please  
gain access to this survey through the link you will find below and 
complete it. Your help is greatly appreciated.
