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.

A student and I are working on an intriguing side project and could use some help, if possible. We are trying to put together a list of possible features of the dialect of Emily Dickinson (19th century western Massachusetts/Amherst). We are looking at the LANE maps & tapes, but, of course those are almost exactly one century later. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
