ATTN: Undergraduate Aged People
A colleague of a colleague in Taiwan has a graduate student who is conducting survey-based research and is looking for undergraduate-aged (I presume 18 - 25) native speakers of American English to complete an online survey on speech act behavior. I know there are a fair few of you who fit this bill on my f-list *pokes perosha*, so if you've got a few minutes head over here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=RHCq9mvknluCtGZQGvzn3A_3d_3d
The password is survey.
The e-mail I received soliciting volunteers also indicated a slight financial incentive:
For your participation, you will be given $5.00, payable either by PayPal (within 24 hours after you complete the questionnaire), or in cash (by meeting me on Penn's campus at a time we'll arrange). If you prefer to waive the compensation, I will donate it to a charity here in Philadelphia.
At the end of the questionnaire, you will be asked if you would like to participate in further study. If you participate in this additional study, which is also likely to be online, you will be given an additional $10.
If you would like to complete a questionnaire, please e-mail LanguageSurveys@gmail.com and you'll receive the instructions within a few hours.
