Hi,

Thanks again to all who responded to the Tune Questionnaire.  The results 
are summarized below.

No variation with respect to conversation type was found, and everyone
here has post-secondary education.

14/20 have a strictly y-less pronounciation in all words concerned, with
distribution as follows:

Age:  		0-25		4
		25-50		8
		50+		2
Sex		M		10
		F		4
Social Class	lower		1
		middle		13
Society		rural		2
		urban		12
		
6/20 have pronounciations y-pronounciations, but in varying degrees.  All 6 
have the y-variants in tune, dune, assume; four in resume; 1 each in lune, 
rune.  All are middle-class with post-secondary education.  Distribution:

	t   ty   d   dy   s   sy   z   zy   r   ry   l   ly
0-25	    4        4        4    1   3    3   1    2   1
25-50       1        1        1        1    1        1
50+         1        1        1        1    1        1
M           5        5        5    1   4    4   1    3   1
F           1        1        1        1    1        1
rur.        1        1        1        1        1        1
urb.        5        5        5    1   4    5        4

Discrepancies in the above data occur because 3/20 were not familiar with 
'lune' (moon).  1/20 pronounces 'assume; with 'sh' ('ashoom'), which was
counted as y-variant.

Sincerely, Milan Rezac
