a linguistic project

[andronikus]

Hi
I'm looking for volunteers who would like to take part in the university project I have to perform. I study english philology at Univ. of Silesia, Poland. The project is called "A cross-cultural investigation of speech act realization patterns" and to cut long story short its aim is to compare different ways of "requesting" among native and non-native speakers of the English language The test is pretty short-5 examples are inside the .doc file, you just have to read the instructions and follow them. No personal data is being collected except for the country of origin which will indicate whether you are a native sp. or not(if you are a native speaker but you live abroad please write that down) After giving the answers you are kindly reguested to send the file to me(e-mail address given at the bottom of the file). I would be glad if you could help me. Thank you.

I don't e-mail people that I know, let alone random strangers on a porn forum, but I actually took the time to answer your questions. Here you are, I hope this helps.

1.You are a witness of a very serious car accident. You give first aid and you see a group of gathering people. You do not have a cell phone to call the ambulance and you must ask someone to do it.

Would someone please call 911?

2.You see a teenager littering at the front of your house. Take a verbal action.

Hey! Pick it up, you little shit!

3. You sit in a restaurant. Suddenly you smell gas. Warn the guests and the staff.

I just wanted to do the neighborly thing, and warn you all that the hard-boiled egg salad that I ate a few minutes ago is working, and that you guys might wanna go sit somewhere else for a couple minutes.

4. You work in a company and you have to take 2 additional days off though you have done it twice this month. Ask your boss.

Hey, boss, I know I’ve taken a couple days off this month already, but something came up and I need to take 2 more days off. Would it be ok with you if I look for someone to cover me for those days?

5. You stay at you grandmother who is a bit deaf. She is watching a TV program and disturbs you in learning. React.

I’m not sure I understand this question. It disturbs me in learning?

Quick, call my brother, sir! He is running a transplant ring. You won't regret helping us out here.

Pick it up and throw it on the neighbor's lawn, you fucktard! Where's my gun?

3. You sit in a restaurant. Suddenly you smell gas. Warn the guests and the staff.
Somebody has a match?

4. You work in a company and you have to take 2 additional days off though you have done it twice this month. Ask your boss.
Hey boss, I need two days off. You sure won't mind unless your wife is interested in the pictures of you nailing the secretary on the copying machine.

In that case, I would say "Hey, gramma, can I turn down the tv a little bit so I can concentrate on my homework?"

And, if you haven't gathered from my countless posts on the matter, I live in the San Fagcisco Bay Area, which is in California, which is in the US of motherfucking A. :thumbsup:

The patient is the doctors son and the doctor is the patients mother.

Wait, is that a different question? oh well.

The first one of you crackheads to call 911 gets a slightly used pair of Nikes.

Pick that up right now or I'll put I'll put more holes in you than you see in an asshole's day parade.

3. You sit in a restaurant. Suddenly you smell gas. Warn the guests and the staff.

We're all gonna die! Everyone Panic!!!!

I need a couple days to celebrate asshole's day. I will need the extra time to travel to New Orleans to be nearer the greatest concentration of assholes in the U.S. and I appreciate the consideration.

My grandmothers are both dead.

Tragically I lose my ability to talk since it was such a serious accident, so I resort to shitting on the hood of another witnesses car, and smearing it all over my face.

2.You see a teenager littering at the front of your house. Take a verbal action.

Get some more trash. Then maybe the city will give me a new goddam lawn. Heres 5 bucks.

3. You sit in a restaurant. Suddenly you smell gas. Warn the guests and the staff.

Quick, somebody! I need a source of fire! This place just became my new source of entertainment. Which one of you can make it out of the door before I blow this motha fucka up?

4. You work in a company and you have to take 2 additional days off though you have done it twice this month. Ask your boss.

Boss, I have to take 2 more days off work. I'm allergic to stupid people, and being here is having a serious effect on my health.

Thanks grandma, I love you, lets watch some more Coronation Street. Fuck learning, that's for idiots.
