Directory         1.     Rehana Mubarak , Survey: Politeness Strategy Patterns Message 1: Survey: Politeness Strategy Patterns Date: 31-Jan-2011 From: Rehana Mubarak <remu4242hotmail.com> Subject: Survey: Politeness Strategy Patterns E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List subscribers, At the moment I am working on my Ph.D. project which deals with linguistic politeness strategy patterns in different non-native and native varieties of English. In my thesis I am focussing on e-mail communication in international customer support contexts and I am aiming at designing a concept proposal for a dynamic, interactive text editing tool that helps enhance intercultural awareness and optimize communicative competence. To elicit patterns for a database I have created a survey and would be very grateful, if you could take some time (max. 10 minutes) to participate at this survey by clicking on this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/linguistics2011 I confirm that the survey and all your data will remain anonymous. Thank you very much in advance for your highly appreciated participation. Please, don't hesitate to contact me, if you have any further questions regarding the project and/or the survey. Yours sincerely, Rehana Mubarak Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics                             Discourse Analysis                             Pragmatics                             Sociolinguistics                             Text/Corpus Linguistics Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 02-Feb-2011       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
