Language Change Survey
Final edit: Thanks to all who participated. I got some good data and some great feedback from you all that will help me in preparing the official survey for the full research venture. I'll keep you posted. :)
Hey everyone! I'm currently taking a seminar on language change in progress at NYU. We have to do a research project on emerging changes in a language (not necessarily English). Mine is actually going to focus on a new lexical item that I've heard cropping up among a number of English speakers.
I need to do a pilot study survey to see if my topic is viable, so would some of you mind taking a short survey to help me out? It's only like 10 questions and shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. You'll just be judging the acceptability of a few sample sentences.
Because it's a pilot, I just need about 12-18 participants, andI'm looking for people of all ages**, but specifically 30+* because I don't have many contacts in that age range hehe. I would appreciate your help! And I will definitely post again with the final results of my project in around December, if it ends up being a good study. :) Thanks guys!
*Edit: Thanks to all who have taken it so far! Now... any 40-and-over people willing to contribute? ;)
**Edit: I really appreciate everyone taking the survey, but at this point I would like to ask only people age 40 or over to take the survey. For those of you who are younger, just watch out for the full survey once I get the project going! :)
