    Questionnaire on academic presentations. Please help us learn more about them! The JACET (Japan Association of College English Teachers) Kansai Chapter Oral English Special Interest Group is conducting a research project on academic presentations. We would like to ask your help in responding to this SHORT questionnaire.

    Please contact y_ishikawakufs.ac.jp to receive the questionnaire.

    Subject: Scalar adjectives


    Some colleagues of mine are involved in social science surveys, particularly in the area of perceived noise annoyance levels. Here in Japan, using a translated version of a robust scale that has produced relatively similar results in different nations, they have found that the results do not correspond to previous research. Though they are not confining their research to questions of translation, I was wondering if there had been linguistic research on these questions, including the translation of scalar adjectives from one language to another and the possible bearing this would have on the Whorf-hypothesis. If you know of any references, please feel free to send them to me by email. If I get more than 4 references, I will post a summary.
