Winter 2008

This quarter, we are running experiments for our first group project. We are collecting grammatical judgments on wh-questions in English from different populations (mono-lingual English speakers, Bi-lingual native English speakers and Non-native English speakers) using three different methodologies (Magnitude estimation, 5-point scale, and Y/N).
