Subject: Your help needed



Fellow netters,



I'm a graduate student in Linguistics and I'm writing to ask for your

help. I am interested in how people carry out conversations (a

surprisingly complex task!). Currently, I'm researching how people

interpret what their conversational partners say.



The reason I'm contacting you is that I need data from speakers from a

variety of dialect areas. Would you be willing to respond to a

questionnaire over e-mail? If you are, please send me a note at

and I'll e-mail the questionnaire to you.



Thanks in advance for your help!
