Dear all,

We are looking for speakers of Russian as a heritage language or a foreign
language willing to take part in our online survey. The survey is part of a
project aimed at the compilation of a Russian reading corpus that pays
attention to the needs of different learner groups.

With this survey we want to explore whether the graphic design of a text
influences its perception by learners. The results of the survey will be
considered for the graphic design of the reading corpus.

In particular, we are looking for persons who are either
- heritage speakers of Russian (with at least basic reading skills in Russian)
or
- have learned Russian as a foreign language (and have been alphabetized in a
non-Cyrillic script)

The survey takes about 15 minutes. Please go to
https://www.soscisurvey.de/RusGraphE/
for the survey with English as instruction language.

There is also a version with German instructions available:

We would appreciate it if you could pass the link along to anyone appropriate
for the survey. Thank you!

Best regards,
Sandra Birzer (Hamburg University)
