Notes

In an earlier article in the Quarterly Journal of Speech (XXX, pp. 328–330) an investigation into the meaning of each of twenty words commonly used to indicate the degrees of frequency, e.g., words like “never,” “usually,” “generally.” The present study represents a related investigation in which similar methods have been used.

For help in obtaining the responses used as a basis for this study the writer is indebted to the following former colleagues: Professor Helen Walker, Teachers College, Columbia University; Assistant Professors James B. McMillan, I. Willis Russell, E. W. Sender‐ling, University of Alabama; and Miss Ruth Simpson of Sewickley High School, Pennsylvania.
