Hey all.

I'm currently working on a short essay on Japanese learners understanding of role language (Yakuwarigo) occurring in modern manga. I would therefore like to ask for your help by participating in my survey.

The survey consist of matching quotes to 5 sets of characters from a certain manga and some basic questions and will only take a few minutes(I'd also like to add that it's quite fun!).

The survey is written all in Japanese so some aid from rikai-chan or similar tools might be useful if you find it hard to read some of the kanji. When I ask for a comment you may write in either Japanese or English.

I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by posting this and greatly appreciate your participation.

Do you have a romaji version of this survey? That might boost the participation rate.

Done! Not going to lie though, I feel like my decisions were almost totally arbitrary for the most part, hahaha. Good luck with your paper, hope my responses help.

It's "role language".
Admin: fixed typos

john555: I will consider it but I think that the content would be hard to understand for someone without knowledge of kanji even with romaji added. Thank you for your feedback though!


REH94: There is a lot of be learned from arbitrary decisions as well! ご協力ありがとうございました！　


Stansfield123: Quite embarrassing typos as well... Thank you.

I will keep the survey open for a few more days before shutting it down to have my go at the results. A big thank you to everyone who participated.

Most seemed fairly cut and dry to me, but I did have a lot of trouble on one, which I just guessed on. I know the material, but haven't read or played it, so the first four questions were entirely observation (I didn't even realize it was all the same franchise). The last one was a dead give-away, though.

Pretty fun. I think I just wrote most of an essay, but it was quite interesting to think about just how I made my judgements.
