The dataset contains the results of a survey on the judgment of quantifier raising from 25 subjects, who are all aged between 18 and 35 and speak Mandarin Chinese as their mother tongue, despite varied dialect backgrounds. The questionnaire and the consent form are also included. The study investigates whether quantifier raising is accepted in Mandarin Chinese, and whether control/noncontrol clauses exhibit distinction in such acceptance. 14 targets (6 monoclausal constructions, 4 exhaustive control constructions, 2 partial control constructions, 2 noncontrol constructions) and 16 fillers are included in the questionnaire.
