Native Speakers Needed For My BA Thesis

Koga · 04-18-2005, 06:50 AM

For my Ba Thesis I need to do some form of research involving native speakers. There are some foreign students in my town, but I thought it would be much easier to use the large group of native speakers I've been a part of for the past 4 years: VGF forums.

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE TAKING THE SURVEY

If you want to participate you have to answer 22 questions in the following survery. For every question you are presented with two words that don't occur in the English language. Read the words out loud and pay attention to the sounds of the words. Then pick the word you think sounds the most like a word of English. There are no right or wrong answers, just go with your intuition.

Please do NOT post your answers in this topic as it may influence the judgment of others. You can either PM me your answers or e-mail them at pmoosterhuis@hotmail.com . Please include your country, age and gender. You can only participate if you are a native speaker of English, and have no record of a speaking/reading disability.
