Dear UCAM-CSSA, First I would like to thank everyone for the unprecedented levels of support I received for my first request for help. I am very grateful to the society for this!
I have composed a short survey continuing on from my previous research into Chinese and Korean narratives, and this survey focuses on levels of linguistic politeness/respect/honor/deference and how it is encoded within Chinese and Korean. I am interested to see how you would rate the 16 characters shown in the pictures on this survey in terms of how your language might encode politeness/respect, from very informal to very formal. The survey link is here, and should take only 2-3 minutes to complete. http://www.kwiksurveys.com/online-survey.php?surveyID=IIDJMI_efdacf3f Apart from the stars, please write the answer to the question '__(Character)__, did you have a nice meal?' IN YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE (MANDARIN CHINESE) I very much look forward to seeing your responses! Peter Crosthwaite (1st.
