Subject: Request for Informant Survey (Native English Speakers Only)


I am looking for native English speakers who can cooperate with an
informant survey using the Google Form.
In this survey, I would like to ask the grammaticality of "nominal IF"
(as in "I wonder IF you are available").
I ask participants or subjects to select one choice out of Very
Natural, Natural, A Little Unnatural, and Unnatural, according to
their intuition or introspection. No personal information will be
collected except your mother tongue.
If you can participate in this survey, please enter the Google Form
via the URL below.
There are 14 grammatical Q's.
https://forms.gle/HvoFVHz1GmRWZs8z9

Linguistic Field(s): Semantics
                     Syntax

Subject Language(s): English (eng, stan1293)
