Subject: A Brief Online Survey

 
I’m Adrian Stenton, and I’m a PhD candidate at the Leiden University Centre
for Linguistics, where I’m investigating number concord across the species
noun phrase in English, as part of the project Bridging the Unbridgeable: a
project on English usage guides, which is supervised by Professor Ingrid
Tieken-Boon van Ostade.

As part of my research, which has just started, I have set up a trial survey
on Qualtrics. You will find the survey here:

https://leidenuniv.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0CaeQHp0oKUSedn

The survey is open to both native and non-native speakers of all varieties of
English. Apart from teasing out your attitudes to number concord, the survey
also gives you the opportunity to comment at length, and I am hoping to use
your responses to refine the survey for a larger-scale survey of international
academic authors some time next year.

If you would like more details on the survey, please go to the Bridging the
Unbridgeable blog here:

nglish/

Many thanks!
