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 http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.html.

Subject: form of consent, sociolinguistic research

Dear list members,

I am currently working on a Ph.D project which involves
sociolinguistic fieldwork in Ireland. I was told by a friend that it
is imperative to obtain written consent from the people you interview
for American publishers (the thesis is for a German university where
you have to publish your findings). As I have never heard about this
with European publishers (I have the oral consent of all people to use
the material for my Ph.D., of course) I would be interested, if anyone
has any experience with publishing research based on interviews. Do I
need written consent, and if so, what does it have to look like
exactly?

Thank you for your help,
Astrid Fiess

Subject: Question

Have there been any spectrographic studies published which confirm
that words such as "rider" and "writer" differ in vowel length before
the flap?

Thank you,
