LINGUIST List 22.4451 Tue Nov 08 2011 Qs: Natve English speaking participants needed Editor for this issue: Zac Smith <zaclinguistlist.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.

I am currently in the pilot test phase of the scenarios I'm planning to use in my DCT (Discourse Completion Task) Questionnaire, and I'm still looking for native speakers of English (any variety welcome!) who would be willing to complete a questionnaire containing 12 scenarios that are accompanied by multiple choice questions capturing the respondent's spontaneous impressions of the situations. The questionnaire is actually quite entertaining (so I've been told) and should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete. The questionnaire is provided in both docx and doc format to ensure that it runs smoothly on most computers. It can be accessed here (further instructions are provided in the questionnaire): doc-format: http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/%7Ekreutel/Pragmatics/Situations_Questionnaire.doc docx-format: http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/%7Ekreutel/Pragmatics/Situations_Questionnaire.docx If you would like to help me with my research by completing the questionnaire and/or passing it on to (other) suitable participants, I'd appreciate it very much. If you have any questions about my project, don't hesitate to contact me at karen.glaser(at)phil.tu-chemnitz.de. Thank you for considering my request - I'm very grateful for any support.
