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. To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.html.

Subject: Double Modal Speakers

Hi,

I am interested in the use of Double Modals like 'might could', 
'will can' etc. and would like to hear from Double Modal 
speakers from America, Northern England, and Scotland who 
would be willing to give me some judgements to help with my 
research.

Many thanks,

Joanne Close
