Subject: Survey: intuitions as evidence in linguistics

 
Dear colleagues, 
 
In the past decades, there has been lively debates over the way native
speakers’ intuitive judgements are used as evidence in linguistics. With this
questionnaire, we want to explore the experiences and opinions of members of
the research community about this issue.
 
More specifically, we are interested in the opinions of researchers ... 
- who believe that native speakers’ intuitive judgements of syntactic
well-formedness can, to some extent, be used as evidence in linguistics (e.g.
for fieldwork, grammatical descriptions, theoretical work etc.),
- who subscribe to any theoretical background (formal/generative,
functional/cognitive, other), and
- who have obtained or are studying for a PhD in linguistics or closely
related fields. 
 
Your help would be highly appreciated! The questionnaire takes approximately
25 minutes to complete. Upon completing it, participants have the option to
enter in a lottery for ten vouchers for amazon.com, each worth $25. 
 
Please follow this link to participate:

You are also more than welcome to forward this call to any colleague(s) who
meet the requirements and who might be interested in participating in the
survey.
 
This survey is part of the project Intuitions in Science and Philosophy:
www.projects.au.dk/intuitions/. You can contact karenbroecker at css.au.dk for
