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.

Hi

I am a PhD student in corpus linguistics at the University of Sheffield in England. I am currently looking at fixed expression/ idiomatic type structures. Can anyone tell me of any other similar work/ articles I could look at?

Thanks Kelly Pycroft

Dear colleagues,

I am completing an A2 level English Language Investigation course. My hypothesis is to find out how teachers tailor their language to help the needs of Asperger's Syndrome children.

I am also looking to find out different aspects of Asperger Syndrome children's language.

Any help you could give me would be appreciated.

Many Thanks
