Research Participants Needed!

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who participated! I have enough responses for now. I may need you in the future, so keep checking back. You are the best!

Greetings all!

I'm working on a project about how people feel about different types of sentences. I'd love some participants! The links are not mobile optimized, so please take them from a laptop or desktop. Here's the announcement:

My name is Paul Reed; I'm a PhD candidate in the Linguistics Program at the University of South Carolina. I am working on a project with Dr. Stan Dubinsky and am writing to see if you would be willing to take a few minutes to take one or more surveys to help facilitate our research (the links for which are included at the bottom of this email in no particular order). The experiments that we’re asking you to participate in are part of a project aimed at finding out how the English language works, (in particular) examining how variation in Modern American English is perceived. Each survey involves rating sound clips based on the acceptability of various sentences and should only take about 15 minutes to do. 
There are no restrictions on participation eligibility; we welcome responses from anyone that is interested, including: students, faculty/staff, and anyone outside of academia, as well as both native and non-native speakers. Please feel free to pass this request along to anyone that you think might be interested in participating. There is no compensation offered for participating, except, of course, the good feeling of helping out.

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to contact me at reedpe@email.sc.edu.



Thanks!
