[Corpora-List] Experiment in selection of referential expressions

[Anja Belz]

Dear list members,

We are now running the second instalment of an experiment in which we ask
people to select referential expressions (REs) that refer to the main
subject in the context of a simple encyclopaedic text. The idea is to
investigate to what extent people agree when choosing REs. The experiment
is designed as a multiple choice task, where REs can be selected from a
menu. The texts are short and can usually be done in under a minute.

We would like to ask any native speakers of English who have a few minutes
to spare to help us complete the experiment. It would be great if
participants could do at least three texts, but you can do as many as you
like.

There is more information on the experiment website. To participate,
simply read the instructions and then click on the 'start experiment'
button at the bottom of the page:

Any non-native speakers who would like to try out the experiment can do so
at this alternative website:

We would be very grateful for any feedback, comments and suggestions.
Many thanks for your time,

Anja Belz
