Subject: Native English Speakers Needed for Grammaticality Survey


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 have once asked you to judge senetnces containing "if."
This investigation is an additional one in order for me to scrutinize
other possibilities.
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 and divulged in any form except your
mother tongue (that is needed for data accuracy). Your submission is
automatically regarded as consenting to the above-mentioned treatment
of personal information.
If you can participate in this survey, please enter the Google Form
via the URL below.
There are 7 grammatical Q's.
https://forms.gle/hdpdRZySNkG9MUFP8

Linguistic Field(s): Semantics
                     Syntax

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