Survey on Chinese-English bilinguals using Chinglish
Hi all, I am doing a research on Cantonese-English bilinguals using chinglish.
Chinglish is a mixture of English and Chinese, with mixed grammar from both languages.
For example, phrases like 'ok la', 'i go see see' (meaning I will go check it out), and stuff like that.
My research is going to be about why people that are fluent in both Cantonese and English still chooses to use Chinglish sometimes. Like when they are chatting on computer, talking to other bilinguals, etc.
Please help me complete my survey, there will be 5 questions below, they can all be answered briefly with just 1 or 2 words or just circle the choices that suits you the most.
1.) Do you use chinglish to communicate with people that are not so fluent in English?
If so, why?
2.) If you answer no to question 1, state why you do not choose to use chinglish to communicate. (can be very brief)
3.) Do you use chinglish to communicate with fluent Chinese-English bilingual while chatting in computer or sending email? If so, why?
4.) If you answer no to question 3, state why you do not wish to use chinglish to communicate. (can be very brief)
5.) Please choose your proficiency in Cantonese.
Very poor/ poor/ okay/ good/ excellent
Please choose your proficiency in English.
Very poor/ poor/ okay/ good/ excellent
6.) How do you feel about chinglish?
Hate it/ don’t like it/ neutral/ like it/ I love it
7.) If your English is more fluent than Cantonese, will you use chinglish to communicate with Cantonese speakers? If so, why?
Sorry for the wall of text... any entry will be helpful

There are problems with your survey, Gonietz. First off, your first question needs to be a filtering question. e.g. Do you speak Cantonese as your ____ tongue? (Or something along those lines)
Second, some people consider "Chinglish" as "inferior" and may not be so willing to admit they speak it. Some may not even consider their English Chinglish.
I suggest you rework your questi
