    <Paragraph position="0"> We are grateful to Therese Leinonen, Jens Moberg and Jelena ProkiVc for comments on this work, and in particular for their suggestion that one should also examine the length normalization. We also thank the workshop reviewers, in particularly one who was productively harsh about the treatment of normalization in an earlier version, and also pointed out literature we had insufficiently taken note of. Finally, we are indebted to the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, NWO, for support (project &amp;quot;Determinants of Dialect Variation, 360-70-120, P.I. J. Nerbonne)</Paragraph>
