LINGUIST List 21.4249 Tue Oct 26 2010 Qs: Familial Intimacy Terminology Survey Editor for this issue: Danielle St. Jean <daniellelinguistlist.org> 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.cfm. Directory         1.     Katarzyna Dziwirek , Familial Intimacy Terminology Survey Message 1: Familial Intimacy Terminology Survey Date: 21-Oct-2010 From: Katarzyna Dziwirek <dziwirekuw.edu> Subject: Familial Intimacy Terminology Survey E-mail this message to a friend Hello LINGUIST subscribers, We are conducting a study aimed at finding out possible correlations among three things: 1) how we talk about our family members depending on 2) who we talk to, and 3) the language we speak. For example, when talking to a child a mother might say about her parents: a) I talked to my parents last night and they send you hugs and kisses, or b) I talked to your grandma and grandpa last night and they send you hugs and kisses. We would like to see if choices like those between a) and b) are related to the language of the utterance. We hope that you can take about 15 minutes to take our survey: http://atrial.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9vt45Z4dp3C8sbG We are looking for all kinds of respondents: monolinguals as well as bilinguals, married people as well as unmarried people, parents and non-parents, etc. If there are parts of the survey that do not apply to you, simply ignore them. Thank you so much!
