Dialect survey

Hi I have huge request for you. If you can fill for me this survey you will help me in writing my BA thesis. I think questions are not so difficult but if you have problems with something Ill expain. Thank you for help.

I’m starting a dialect survey to find out what differences there are in people’s pronunciation in Australia and England. Most of these questions just answer with ‘yes’ or ‘ no’; although you can elaborate on your own answer if you wish. Thanks to those who fill this survey; it will be helpful in my BA thesis.

1. Sex:
2. Age: (If you don’t want to put your real age, put age group)
3. Location:
4. Do you distinguish pronunciation between:
caught and cot
the vowel in bad and lad
roil and royal
card and cord
salt and sol
paw and poor and pore
crone and crown
fill and feel
chews and choose
load and lord
lay and lie
rap and wrap
mews and muse
Mary, marry, merry
dawn and don
carp and cup
cap and carp
sheep and ship
laugh and lath
the first letter in poppy and bobby
roller and ruler
tree and three

5. How do you pronounce undermentioned words (please focus on vowel “a”)? Please put them in two groups.
man, cattle, pyjama, aunt, graph, dance, camel, chance, bard, palm, contrast, hand

first group ( pronunciation like "ham")
second group ( pronunciation like "car")
