Hi I have huge request for you. If you can fill for me this survey you will help me in writing my BA thesis. I think questions are not so difficult but if you have problems with something Ill expain. Thank you for help.

I’m starting a dialect survey to find out what differences there are in people’s pronunciation in Australia and England. Most of these questions just answer with ‘yes’ or ‘ no’; although you can elaborate on your own answer if you wish. Thanks to those who fill this survey; it will be helpful in my BA thesis.

1. Sex:
2. Age: (If you don’t want to put your real age, put age group)
3. Location:
4. Do you distinguish pronunciation between:
caught and cot
the vowel in bad and lad
roil and royal
card and cord
salt and sol
paw and poor and pore
crone and crown
fill and feel
chews and choose
load and lord
lay and lie
rap and wrap
mews and muse
Mary, marry, merry
dawn and don
carp and cup
cap and carp
sheep and ship
laugh and lath
the first letter in poppy and bobby
roller and ruler
tree and three

5. How do you pronounce undermentioned words (please focus on vowel “a”)? Please put them in two groups.
man, cattle, pyjama, aunt, graph, dance, camel, chance, bard, palm, contrast, hand

first group ( pronunciation like "ham")
second group ( pronunciation like "car")​

What do you call a set of 122 maps depicting the variety of word choice, pronunciation and slang across the U.S.? Super viral.
If you've visited Facebook in the past several hours, it's likely you've seen Joshua Katz's work. The graduate student in statistics at North Carolina State University created a series of U.S. dialect maps that, though made just for an end-of-year project for one of his classes, inadvertently set the social Internet ablaze after finding their way onto Reddit and then Business Insider.
"I started the project mostly out of personal interest," Katz told The Huffington Post. He wanted see a smoothed-out version of data collected by Burt Vaux, a professor of linguistics at the University of Cambridge, in a survey of American speech patterns.

Those words and phrases were just some of the linguistical oddities uncovered during a dialect survey by Bert Vaux. North Carolina State graduate student Joshua Katz recently mined this data for an end-of-year statistics project and created a series of maps showing the various dialect differences.
Also, how do you describe the meteorological occurrence during which rain falls while the sun is shining? If you're from Alabama or Mississippi, chances are you describe the situation as "the devil beating his wife".
Other distinct regional variations involved the pronunciation of the words caramel, lawyer and pecan.
Katz's project includes a fascinating map page which allows users to pull up 122 different maps showing regional differences for various words and phrases.
Editor's note: Thank you to Joshua Katz for allowing Patch to use his map with this article.
