Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to participate in a short ~5 minute survey on sound change. We are an interdisciplinary team of researchers interested in understanding the current views of prominent scholars on the process of sound change. To better understand views that may be commonly held but rarely written down, we have created a short ~5 minute survey aimed at targeting several long-standing debates in our field. Should you choose to provide additional explanation in optional text boxes, the survey may take a few minutes longer.
Your responses will help develop an understanding of how common different positions are regarding these major debates, how much disagreement exists, and what factors predict respondents’ positions on specific issues.
To reach a wide range of scholars, thus covering the diverse opinions across our field, we are forwarding an invitation to participate in our research through this server list so that anyone who wishes to can decide to participate. The survey contains both fixed responses and open responses that allow you to express your views in more detail if you wish. Should you decide to participate, as a thank you for your time, you can go in the draw to win one of 10 $50 Amazon gift vouchers. You are welcome to request a summary of our findings by emailing q.atkinson@auckland.ac.nz.
To participate, follow this link to the survey: https://auckland.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e2jzEXLrG6zk3qu
Please feel free to forward this email on to colleagues who may also be interested in participating.
Thanks! If you have any questions or issues with the survey, please contact our staff at q.atkinson@auckland.ac.nz.
Best wishes to all,
Quentin Atkinson Remco Bouckaert Jordan Douglas Russell Gray Mattis List Mary Walworth
