Online questionnaire with LimeSurvey: Evaluating British or American influence on the vocabulary of participants

Programs: LimeSurvey (hosted on eng-ling.uni-bamberg.de)

Tasks:

  • Design a short questionnaire that aims to evaluate the British/American influence on the vocabulary of the participant’s English (e.g. chips vs. fries, faucet vs. tap, realize vs. realise) (no more than 15 items) using LimeSurvey.
  • Also try to gather some personal information (age, nationality, education, education of parents, years lived abroad, etc.)
  • Present the key points of your questionnaire design to your fellow students. Also, fill in some questionnaires yourself and give a brief overview about some of the features of LimeSurvey to analyse the gathered data.       

Notes:

  • Please sign up for a free user account on our departmental server and send Fabian Vetter (fabian.vetter@uni-bamberg.de) an email with your username and email address you signed up with. He will then grant you access to LimeSurvey.
  • A short introduction (who you are and why you perform the study) is also part of the questionnaire!
  • More details on questionnaire design can be found in Wray, Alison & Aileen Bloomer. 2012. Projects in Linguistics and Language Studies. 3rd edition. London: Hodder Education.
