Directory         1.     Mascha Traxel , Survey on the Word ''Dude'' Message 1: Survey on the Word ''Dude'' Date: 25-Jan-2012 From: Mascha Traxel <mascha.traxelweb.de> Subject: Survey on the Word ''Dude'' E-mail this message to a friend In 2004, the sociolinguist Scott Kiesling started to focus on a word which has not gained too much attention before, although it is used frequently in the present and the past. This manifold word is ''dude''. In order to see how the term has changed in its usage since 2004 we would like to do a replicate study based on the research questions of Kiesling. Please help us to collect information and data for this and fill in the query which is attached to this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform? hl=de&formkey=dFA2U2lQUUhmczBLWnBLeHk5WDFMOFE6MQ#gid= 0 Thank you very much.
