[Corpora-List] need for questions

[Evan Brown]

I think perhaps the OP wants to create a corpus of survey question 
answers received from foreign English speakers which will then be 
analysed to derive information about speech patterns, language use and 
so on.

If this is the correct interpretation, it is a very broad question 
indeed.  If you can post the assignment question, Yakup, or otherwise 
provide more information about the precise purpose of the exercise and 
the type of questions that you want to answer through text analysis, I'm 
sure that the posters here will be glad to help you.
