Pronoun Variation Study - African American in the USA
Investigator: Dr. Dennis Ryan Storoshenko

We are conducting a research study to examine how English speakers in different parts of the world use pronouns. Participation in this stage of the study involves filling in the blanks on the survey below. While you will not see the results of other participants, we will use your results in the study of how English varies among different people in different parts of the world, and we hope you keep up with our progress!

All your responses will be anonymous, and never connected to your name or email address. Your responses and your geographical location may be shared with the Yale Grammatical Diversity Project at http://microsyntax.sites.yale.edu/

Participation in this survey is completely voluntary. You are free to decline to participate, end your participation at any time (just close the window), or skip any question without penalty.

If you have any questions, contact Dr. Dennis Ryan Storoshenko:

Don't overthink, or treat this like a test in school. There is no right or wrong answer, we are not testing your abilities in "real" grammar, and we are not going to correct you.
