This questionnaire is part of a research project on the English Language being conducted by Sonia Ben Hedia, a member of staff at the University of Duesseldorf. The aim is to improve our understanding of the structure of complex words, the storage and retrieval of such words in memory, and the speech production process in general. You have been invited to participate because you are an adult native speaker of English. If you agree to participate, please complete the questionnaire below, which asks you to give some basic information and then rate some English words according to how easy it is to break them into smaller parts. The survey will take about 10 to 20 minutes. The data you provide will be combined anonymously with data from about 30 other participants, and used in statistical analyses of the words. The data will be stored on password protected computers. The overall results will be written up and published in Sonia Ben Hedia’s PhD dissertation, and may also appear in scientific journals and conference presentations, but individual participants will not be identifiable and no names will be used. There are no known risks to participating, and no special precautions you must take before, during or after taking part in the study.You can refuse to take part without giving a reason or withdraw your data from the study at any time before it is written up. If you have any questions about the study or want to withdraw, please email sonia.ben.hedia@uni-duesseldorf.de.
