Utah English (IRB2022-343)
Hi everyone! My name is Chad Huckvale and I’m a student in the linguistics program at Brigham Young University. Working with Dr. Joey Stanley, I am conducting research (IRB Study: IRB2022-343) for my masters thesis on Utah English.
If you have lived in the state of Utah for 1 or more years in the past 10 years, please take this survey that I have created which will help me understand how people perceive English is spoken in Utah. The survey should take roughly 10 minutes to complete. There is no payment for participation in this survey.
