For a book I am writing at this time, I am looking for persons who are
comfortable in more than one language and are willing to complete a
brief email questionnaire for me. Native or near-native fluency in
both languages isn't necessary for my purposes; I just need you to be
at ease in your second (or nth) language. I will be happy either to
credit you or to maintain your anonymity, just as you like.

If you'd be willing to help me with this, please just send me an email
note to that effect. Thanks.

Suzette Haden Elgin

I'm currently doing some research on Chinese voiceless and voiced
stops, and am very interested in locating any articles related to the
phonetic/phonological and/or acoustic properties of these sounds. If
you have know of any good references, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Stephen Lambacher
