Subject: Participate in Questionnaire--English Speakers

 
Hello. I’m a Japanese student of the university. I am studying English
Linguistics at university.

I am researching two subjects:

First, I am looking at Negative Expressions, particularly the difference
between "no X" and "not any X." For this I have designed a questionnaire for
English speakers:

Second, I am looking at the following phenomenon: when we say “we play + the
instrument~.” , generally we have to give “the”, but sometimes we need not
give “the."

For example:

"He plays piano."
"He plays the piano."

Please tell me which expression do you usually use?

For this I have designed a second questionnaire:

Please kindly spare your time to answer the questionnaires. Thank you in
advance.
 

Linguistic Field(s): Syntax

Subject Language(s): English (eng)
