Subject: Survey Invitation to All Linguists: ''What Should Everyone  
Know about Language?''

Dear colleague,

You are hereby invited to participate in a research study entitled  
"What should everyone know about  
language?"<http://www.soscisurvey.de/ws3kal20>. Over the years, we  
have heard many linguists express their frustration at the general  
public’s lack of knowledge regarding language and linguistics. In this  
survey, we wish to learn your views on what the public ought to know –  
in other words, what are the most important facts about language that,  
in your opinion, should constitute part of a person’s general knowledge.

The study is being conducted by Dr. Tomas Lehecka (Åbo Akademi  
University, Finland) and Prof. Jan-Ola Östman (University of Helsinki,  
Finland). It forms part of a larger, transnational project concerning  
intuitions and patterns of thought about language among the general  
public, funded by the Emil Aaltonen Foundation and the Society of  
Swedish Literature.

If you have any questions about the study or the project as a whole,  
you are welcome to address them to PI Tomas Lehecka  
(tomas.lehecka at abo.fi).

The survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete.

By participating, you will be contributing to our understanding of the  
value of linguistic knowledge both for individuals and for society at  
large. Ultimately, this understanding will enable us to design an  
informed strategy to improve public awareness of language-related  
issues.
