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.
Date: 08-Apr-2012 From: Ali Malmir <a.malmiryahoo.com> Subject: English Speakers Needed: Pragmatics Survey E-mail this message to a friend My name is Ali Malmir and I am a PhD candidate of TEFL at Allameh Tabataba’i University, Tehran, Iran. I need to validate a pragmatic test on speech acts by 60 native speakers of English. I have many financial problems disabling me to travel to the United States of America. But I should validate the test as a part of my PhD dissertation. I am looking for native English speakers to take a Pragmatic Test on English speech acts. You can access the survey here: http://kwiksurveys.com?s=LNEKFI_57bd5605 I really appreciate your help.
