Qs: 'Ritualization', Survey/Grammatical Intuitions

Editor for this issue: Karen Milligan <karenlinguistlist.org>



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.

    Dear Linguists, I once read 'ritualization' as an alternative term for grammaticalization, but I forget where. I should appreciate it very much if you can tell me where the term appears and is discussed.

    Hello,

    I am a doctoral student at the University of London, Royal Holloway, studying under the supervision of Dr. Matthew Saxton. We are investigating children's grammatical intuitions. Recently, we developed a web survey for adult participants.

    We would greatly appreciate your help in drawing participants/students/colleagues/friends to our web site:

    The study only takes about 15 minutes to complete and is anonymous: we do not request your name or address. Since this is a study on grammatical intuitions, linguists and child language researchers should not take part themselves. If you have any questions, please send an email to M.Saxtonwin.ac.uk or deskasshotmail.com

    Sincerely,

    Amy Khasky
