Subject: Call for Participation in our Linguistic Survey "What do you Know about Fairy Tales?"


We are currently conducting a linguistic survey in which we would like
to find out what people spontaneously remember about fairy tales. For
example, what does the evil queen in “Snow White” ask when she wants
to know if she looks good?
Our survey is anonymous and takes only ten minutes to complete. We
would be very grateful if you could take part and share it as widely
as possible within your networks. The survey will remain open until
January 31, 2026.
You can find further information about the survey below and at
https://www.mytuc.org/grimm.
If you have any questions, please contact
christina.sanchez at phil.tu-chemnitz.de.
Thank you very much in advance to everyone for their support!
What do you know about fairy tales?
Call for participation in a short linguistic survey by Chemnitz
University of Technology – no specialist knowledge needed
Christmas time is a season of wonder, miracles and nostalgia. The
perfect time to snuggle up and read some fairy tales or watch some
fairy tale films again. But how well do you actually know the famous
stories by the brothers Grimm?
Christina Sanchez-Stockhammer, professor of English and Digital
Linguistics at Chemnitz University of Technology, wants to find out
what speakers of the English language remember about some of the most
famous fairy tales. For example, what does the evil queen in “Snow
White” ask when she wants to know if she looks good? That’s why
Sanchez-Stockhammer has launched a brief anonymous survey. It only
takes a few minutes to complete and is available in English and
German. “But please don't look anything up! We are interested in what
you remember spontaneously, and there are no right or wrong answers,”
explains the linguist. “This will help us identify the most widely
known English versions.” The results of the survey will be shared in
publicly accessible formats – for example on Sanchez-Stockhammer’s
podcast Linguistics Behind the Scenes.
