Directory         1.     Brent Miller , English Verbs of Manner of Speaking Questionnaire Message 1: English Verbs of Manner of Speaking Questionnaire Date: 26-Nov-2011 From: Brent Miller <brent.allen.millergmail.com> Subject: English Verbs of Manner of Speaking Questionnaire E-mail this message to a friend I am looking for volunteers to participate in an online questionnaire about how English speakers use verbs of manner of speaking (e.g. 'screech' and 'holler'). Participants can be both native and non-native English speakers. The results of this questionnaire will be used as part of a sociolinguist pilot study. The questionnaire consists of twelve fill-in-the-blank questions in which participants have to decide which of two words best completes a sentence. After that exercise, participants will be asked to rank how often these words are used with males versus females. The questionnaire will take between five and ten minutes to complete, and will be available to participants until December 14, 2012.
