Colleagues:
This an addendum to a previous message from a friend of mine (Maureen
Stemmelen) that asked subscribers to complete a survey. This clarification
is in response to some queries some people had regarding the survey.

The purpose of the survey was to gather data from normal people in order to
design better narrative elicitation tasks for subjects with aphasia. These
tasks will be used with American residents only, which explains the
cultural bias in the survey. Thank you for your participation. The survey
is attached to refresh your memory as to what we are talking about!

I know of two languages where voiced fricatives devoice
after a voiceless obstruents, even though voiced stops
cause the preceding voiceless obstruent to voice instead
(Dutch and within certain domains, Polish). I am wondering
if there are other examples.
