Query:	Hello my colleagues, The word ''acknowledge'' is a term which is used in the air traffic communication. It means the manner of giving and getting back the same information in radiophone communication between the controller and the pilot concerning the aeroplane, like as its flight number, its placement, its flight level and so on. In the special terminology of the air traffic they call it ''readback'' and ''hearback'' of the the instructions or of the clearence. I would like to ask you if you have some references for this interesting subject, for exemple in psychological framework, or in any. And if not, mayby your own ideas about repeating messages between two people in general. I would be very happy for your help Mrs Raija Solatie Mme Raija Solatie linguiste/Linguist Kaskihara 20 02340 Espoo Finlande/Finnland t鬮/Tel.: +358-9-8136989 e-mail : raija.solatie@kolumbus.fi www.kolumbus.fi/raija.solatie
