Query:	Dear Linguists, A student of mine is carrying out a survey on animal names that are used in addressing people in English, and she needs quite a number of native English informants. I wonder whether you could devote a little bit of your precious time to fill in the attached questionnaire and/or ask your friends/colleagues/students/family members to fill it in, and send it back either to me (bbkati at yahoo.com) or to her (szamosfalv at freemail.hu). The questionnaire is downloadable from: http://bbkati.vatelstudio.hu/Animals.doc Unfortunately it is not interactive, so you'll have to save it to your computer and send it back as an attachment. Everything is explained in English on the first page of the document. Feel free to reformat the document (it's in tabular format) to provide more space if necessary. Also, should you have any comments on the topic or any recommended readings, they're more than welcome! We would gratefully appreciate it if you could help her. Thanks in advance, Katalin Balogne Berces English Dept., Pazmany Peter University, Hungary
