    • Reflexive possessive

      This questionnaire has been created during my PhD  at the LLF, Université Paris Cité (supervisor: Olivier Bonami). My thesis was about reflexive possessives. A part of my PhD thesis is dedicated to an overview of the diversity of reflexive possessives across languages. I used this questonnaire to document about a dosen of langages.

    • Reported speech: A typological questionnaire

      This questionnaire was distributed among contributors to an edited volume of fieldwork- and corpus-based studies on reported speech (publication planned for 2022), with the aim of maximising the coverage of phenomena in the volume and prompting various analytical judgements about pragmatic and grammatical aspects of reported speech encountered by the authors.

      Comments on the questionnaire would be very much appreciated and should you wish to share a completed questionnaire, please forward it through the email address provided in the document.

    • Sociative Causative

      This questionnaire has been created in 2006 when Antoine Guillaume and Françoise Rose were undertaking a first survey of dedicated sociative causative markers. It was sent to individual language experts and mail lists.

      It has been updated in 2020 for publication on TulQuest. Changes are:

      -contact information of authors

      -addition of more recent references

      -changes in languages name and orthography for Emerillon/Teko (the name "Emerillon" has been replaced with Teko, and the "l" have been replaced by "ɾ".).

      All the updates are shaded in the document.

    • Iamitives vs. Nondums (already vs. not-yet) plus other phasal markers as lexico-grammatical categories

      This questionnaire was designed as part of the data collection procedure for my current grant whereby I study tense-aspect categories restricted to the domain of negation. The not-yet category is grossly understudied so data triangulation is vital for this project: I use grammars, parallel text and data elicitation. This questionnaire is used for the latter.

    • Recognition and usage of double modals in Hawick (Scotland)

      I created this questionnaire for my master's dissertation at the Université Paris-Diderot and the University of Edinburgh (Erasmus), under the supervision of Prof Agnes Celle. I organised a short field trip in the Scottish Borders in early January to get as much data as possible. It was an invaluable experience and more of these concrete experimental methods should be encouraged in the future.

      Special thanks are due to Dr Anthony Bour (University of Freiburg) for providing basic guidelines in the creation of the questionnaire.

    • Apprehensional morphology

      This questionnaire has been developped during my postdoctoral studies (2016-2018) at the Laboratoire Dynamique Du Langage in Lyon and is still work in progress. (You can contact me at marine.vuillermet[AT]cnrs.fr if you wish to be informed about updates lest you miss them.)

    • Questionnaire for describing the negation system of a language

      The 2016 version is a revised version of the negation questionnaire originally published in Miestamo et al. 2015. (Miestamo, Matti, Anne Tamm & Beáta Wagner-Nagy. 2015. Negation in Uralic languages. Typological Studies in Language 108. Amsterdam: Benjamins.)

      The 2016 version has been superseded by a version with a few minor corrections and additions in August 2018.

    • Evidentiality, Inferentiality, and Speakers' attitude

      It was developed by Bettina Zeisler, within the framework of the DFG project "Evidentiality, epistemic modality, and speaker attitude in Ladakhi -Modality and the interface for semantics, pragmatics, and grammar"

      "This questionnaire has been developed primarily for the Tibetic languages, and is, in its initial stage, biased towards the Ladakhi dialects. In order to make it more universally applicable to Tibetic-type systems I should greatly welcome input from researchers around the world." (Zeisler, 2016: 1)

       

    • Checklist for fieldwork on relative clauses

      This checklist was firstly made up for the article "Subjects, objects and relativization in Japhug", Jacques, Guillaume. 2016. Journal of Chinese Linguistics 44(1). 1–28

    • Gender Indexicality

      This questionnaire, which was published as an appendix to an article, was designed to elicit gender indexicality in grammar, based on a typological survey of the phenomenon in 41 indigenous South American languages, as well as with the goal of "encouraging and facilitating research on genderlects" (Rose, 2015 : 1).

      Broadly defined, 'gender indexicality' refers to the way speakers give clues about their gender within a speech situation.
      In this article, 'gender idexicality' refers to the gender of the addressee, or both the speaker and the addressee.
