I am running a 15-minute survey on the acceptability of alternative constructions for German nouns as part of my undergraduate dissertation. The survey is entirely in German and open to any adult speakers whether they consider themselves native speakers or not. I am particularly interested in more repsonses from men, as the current sample is quite biased right now. At the end of the task, you may optionally supply your age (in bins), gender, and first language. You may also enter a raffle

The unassociated segment takes a H (because of H-spreading), but the floating L causes it to downstep so the resulting surface pattern i

Chipewyan, an Athapascan language in Canada, is found particularly along the Athabaska River and Lake, and the lakes and the streams draining into the Churchill River.

It is the phonetic changes that makes the language almost unintelligible to one knowing only southern dialects. The main difference is in the presence of surd, sonant, and glottally af
