Pragmatics of interrogtaives

[Vaidyanathan Raghunathan]

Hi everyone,

One of my Ph.D student, reenctly, has to  face a problem before the ethics
committe of the Institution. She is planning to do her research on the
Understanding the pragmatic functions in Tamil Children in then age range of
3-9. She has formulated 25 test questions and has plans to admisnster them
to nearly 180 children But the ethics committee expects her to raduce the
range to 3-7 and adminster the test on 450 children.

I personally feel the number is on the higher side and can be reduced. Will
the members be kind enough to give their opinion as to the number of
children needs to be studied to have valid and reliable result of the
comprhension of the pragmatic function of Interrogatives?

Prof. Vaidyanathan
