Questionnaires by medium

2020

  • 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.

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languages name and orthography for Emerillon/Teko (the name "Emerillon" has been replaced with Teko, and the "l" have been replaced by "ɾ".).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

2017

  • The list contains 'canonical sentences', and was first used in the Semantic and Lexical Universals project (Goddard and Wierzbicka eds., 1994).
    "It is not regarded as final and suggestions are welcome for its improvement" (Goddard and Wierzbicka, 2017).

  • 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.)

2016

  • 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)

     

  • " The earliest version of this word list was created by Ecole Française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO, directed at that time by Georges Cœdès). The EFEO printed this list as a leaflet which was entrusted to civil servants of the colonial administration (Questionnaire linguistique, Hanoi: Imprimerie d'Extrême-Orient, 1938), aiming at extensive coverage of language varieties. The investigation was launched in 1938. Filled leaflets were gradually gathered at EFEO in Hanoi, until the process was interrupted by the war (in 1940).

2015

  • 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.

  • "What we call 'targeted construction storyboards' have the additional property that the story is designed to include at least one targeted context that can be used to test hypotheses about the relation between linguistic forms and that context. The storyboards thus combine the advantages of spontaneous speech with the benefit of being able to test hypotheses about particular linguistic elements or constructions.

  • This questionnaire is included in Methodologies in Semantic Fieldwork, M. Ryan Bochnak and Lisa Matthewson (eds), 2015, Oxford University Press. Carrie Gillon has contributed to this work, publishing a chapter "Investigating D in languages with and without articles".
