Linguistics Studies

Request for native speakers of English

Dear Linguists,

I am preparing materials for my experiment which is a part of my MA project on cognitive linguistics applied. However, to be able to use them, I need to test them first.

And here comes my problem - I study in Poznan in Poland and I have a very limited access to the native speakers of English. That is why I kindly ask you to help me and take the survey:

The survey is not so long and consists of short dialogues and questions concerning those dialogues. I hope you will enjoy it and make some interesting observations for your research as well.

Please, feel free to pass the link to anybody who could be interested in taking the survey as well.

Thank you a lot in advance for your help in preparing my materials and my graduating from the university!

All the best,

Marta

Hi. I tried to do the survey, but found it extremely confusing, most of the A / B conversations are contradictory?
