Subject: Linguists Needed to Participate in Short Survey

 
Dear linguists,

I have a student whose BA dissertation explores whether expert ratings can be
used to estimate linguistic complexity. He has made a brief questionnaire that
asks linguists to rate the complexity of aspects of the language that they are
an expert in as well as of English. He is especially interested in
understudied languages, but anyone who has expert linguistic knowledge in a
language other than English is welcome to participate. It would be wonderful
to get as many responses as possible so that a great variety of languages are
represented in the sample.

Here is the link to the study: https://goo.gl/forms/3PX19mFy759VfIVK2

Thank you in advance to all who are willing to participate!

Kind regards,
--Anouschka Foltz
