Hello everyone,
I am a graduate student at the University of Illinois, and I am currently investigating the dialectal variations of coordination in English, specifically regarding the syntax and semantics of a specific marginal construction. If you wish to know the specific construction in question, please ask me because I am happy to discuss it with you, but I would prefer to not include it in this message so as to not bias the results of the survey (in case anyone reading this decides to participate). For anyone with an interest in coordination and variation within syntax, I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic as well. So far I have a significant majority of participants who are native speakers of American English, and I am actively seeking participants who speak British English and other varieties. L2 speakers are also welcome to participate, especially speakers of Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian and Danish specifically) for reasons of typological similarity. British English is important because previous research has shown a significant difference in frequency when compared to American English, and my recent corpus investigations have hinted at potential structural differences as well. The survey takes about 30-45 minutes (self-paced, available any time), and participants can leave the survey and return later (using a unique code generated on the website). Please contact me with any questions or if you wish to know more about the details of the investigation. The website for participating in the survey is located at the following address: http://www.ci-pro.com/survey/ Thank you! Daniel Ross |
