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.

Subject: Inf. Extraction from Fiction: Collecting Test Data
Dear all,
My name is Sharon Givon and I'm an MSc student in the Speech & Language
Processing program at the University of Edinburgh. My dissertation project
deals with extracting information from fiction (with Amazon.com): central
characters, relationships between them and main story events.
Unfortunately, no annotated corpus is available for that purpose, and this
is where I need your help.
If you are willing to help, you will find in the attached link a list of
very famous books. If you think you are familiar enough with a story
(either from reading the book or watching the film), please click on its
link to fill in some information about it. You will be asked to fill in
names of central characters, relationships between them and short
description of main events.
If you need to refresh your memory you can use the links to the actual book
texts.
Collecting this information is crucial to my project and will hopefully be
useful for more researchers. I would extremely appreciate it if you
dedicated a few minutes to it. Do not feel like you have to fill in
information for the whole list of titles: a few books would be great but
even one book would be well appreciated.
Here is the link:

Feel free to email me with questions or comment.
Regards,
Sharon.

Subject: (Volunteers) Validating Stimuli, Canadian French
Seeking Native speakers of Canadian French to validate stimuli for pilot
project on morphological processing. It is a very simple task: comparing
the meaning of two words. There are 50 pairs of words, so it should take
at most 10 minutes. Please respond to mariana_vialyahoo.ca, and I can
send you the RTF file. Thank you.
