    Dear list-members,

    I'm part of a research project that uses (the Penn Treebank III portion of)
    the Switchboard corpus for a study on social effects (using the switchboard
    information on speaker gender, education, dialect, and age) on
    morpho-syntactic variation. I'd greatly appreciate any information about
    earlier studies USING SWBD that found social effects (whether on
    morpho-syntactic variation or not). If you didn't find effects that's also
    interesting but since we fail to find effects of several of the above
    variables, I'd be especially interested in other studies that DID find
    social effects using the swbd.

    I'd also appreciate links to more information on the coding of social
    variables for the switchboard (e.g. dialect coding maps; reliability of the
    measures; etc.). Pls reply to me directly and I will send out a summary of
    all answers to the list within a week.

    Thanks a lot,

    Florian
