request (please help me)

[e Hosseini]

Dear ADS-L members,
 
I have recently joined your group, and I am eagerly following the discussions. I am an M.A. student of Applied Linguistics. I have a serious problem in finding some American native speakers to participate in my survey. I don’t know whether you can help me or not. My problem is that as a university student , I am working on an area related to Sociolinguistics, named “Pragmatics”. In order to gain more accurate results in my study and compare the results based on a criterion, I need to have access to English native speakers in order to answer my questionnaire on speech acts uttered in daily conversations by American Native Speakers in written form. Would you please be so kind and guide me through this issue? Would you please honor me and answer it (if you are an American Native speaker) or introduce me some Amerians who can answer it through email? Many thanks indeed, in advance. Attached is my servey. Also, you can click here to take my survey:

Sincerely yours,
Effat
