Subject: Looking for potential Citizen Linguists

 
Are you a linguist or computational linguist? Have you helped or would you be
willing to help Citizen Science projects by providing judgments or by playing
Games-With-A-Purpose (GWAPs)? Would you be willing to answer a few questions
about your motivations in exchange for a £50 Amazon voucher? If so, contact us
- we are the members of the DALI project and we have developed
Games-With-A-Purpose such as WordClicker, TileAttack!, Wormingo and Phrase
Detectives as part of a broader initiative called LingoBoingo:

http://www.lingoboingo.org

We are in the process of revamping the user interface of our games and we need
to find 5 Citizen Linguists who *haven't* yet played one of our games to  ask
them some questions about what they find interesting and motivating, and what
type of interface they enjoy. If you're interested, please take the survey at

 https://forms.gle/KifY6es6CDLBrmso8

which will tell us if you are the type of user we are looking for!
