Dear Sir/Ms,
As a university student majoring Applied Linguistics, I am working on a research area related to “Pragmatics”. In order to gain more accurate results in my study and compare the results based on a criterion, I need to have access to English native speakers in order to answer my questionnaire on speech acts uttered in daily conversations by American Native Speakers in written form. Would you please be so kind and guide me through finding some American Native speakers who are university students (or have been graduated recently, regardless of their field of study) who can answer my questionnaire? Is there any possibility for me having access to them via email? (because, for the time being, the only channel through which I can contact with them is email) As the concept of pragmatics is to a large extent dependent on the concept of culture, and every culture (context) has its own special speech act pattens,I am going to examine only the speech act patterns of American Native speakers. That's why I have used the term ''American Native speakers'' in my text with specific emphasis. As I didn't know how I could attach my questionnair, I have put it at the end of this text. It would be a great pleasure and honor for me if you lend me a helping hand in this regard and answer it (if you are an American Native speaker) or introduce me some Americans who can answer it through email. Many thanks indeed, in advance. Survey text available here: http://pastebin.com/KrBQB0R7 Sincerely yours, Miss Effat, Emails: effat.hosseini20@gmail.com e_hosseini_66@yahoo.com |
