[Corpora-List] Experiment in selection of referential expressions

[Anja Belz]

Dear list members,

We are currently running the fourth instalment of our experiment in which
we ask people to select referential expressions (REs) 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:

Many thanks for your time,

Anja Belz
