Subject: Call for Participants: Native English Speaker Lexical Judgement Task


I am wanting for native English speakers to judge the acceptability of
sentences containing the verb 'climb'.
That is, I am investigating aspects of 'climb', so I am forcedly using
the verb even when there are potential alternatives to it.
In this project, informants will be judging the acceptability of the
sentences by selecting either of  the four options (Verry Natural,
Natural, A Little Unnatural, and Unnatural) except one question.
In order for me to exhaust possibilities, there are 18 Qs. I apologize
for any inconveniences.
Thanks,
Naoki Kawaguchi at Daiichi Institute of Technology (DIT), Kagoshima,
Japan
