[R-sig-ME] Random slopes for 2 variables and random intercept for 1 variable

Adding (Listgp|stimulus) + (length + context|listener) to the formula would
add these slopes and their correlations.

Other options are possible. e.g. (0 + Listgp|stimulus) + (0 +
length|listener) + (0 + context |listener). Please have a look at
http://glmm.wikidot.com/faq and look for "Model specification etc." (0 +
x|group) is explained on that webpage.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
