Subject: Native Arabic Speakers Needed for Undergraduate Student Thesis

 
Hi Everyone!

My name is Raef and I am a senior undergraduate student at NYU completing my
honors thesis in Linguistics. I posted this a few months ago, but am still
looking for participants! We also changed the contact method, so please fill
out the form below if you are interested! 

I am studying whether linguistic prestige factors into how Google Assistant
understand different dialects of Arabic. I am currently looking for native
Arabic speakers to record commands that I will play to Google Assistant. The
study can be done in the comfort of your home, all you need is a quiet space
and a microphone. It should take no more than 10-15 minutes to complete
(though we budget up to 30). Please see my advertisement below, share this
around, and fill out the form if you're eligible. Thank you!

Do you speak Arabic? We need your help! Come participate in this study where
we research factors behind how Google Assistant understands Arabic. We will
ask you to record 10 commands in Modern Standard Arabic and 10 commands in
your native dialect. You will be compensated with a $10 Amazon gift card for
your time. You may be eligible if you:
* Speak Arabic natively
* Are from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, or Morocco
* Are between 40-65
* Immigrated to the US after 18
If you are interested in participating, please fill out the interest form at:
https://forms.gle/5iNJ1J78smafVFD48. If you don’t meet eligibility, send this
to someone who might!
