Subject: Native English speakers sought for Multilingual Covid-19 Conversation Data Analysis Research Project


Multilingual Covid-19 Conversation Data Analysis is a research project
that aims to understand how people from different language and
cultural backgrounds discuss the current Covid-19 situation in their
native language. Led by Professor Shoichi Iwasaki from the Department
of Asian Languages & Cultures at the University of California, Los
Angeles, this study is being funded partially by the Terasaki Center
for Japanese Studies, UCLA.

We are looking for native speakers of American or Canadian English in
the 20-35 age range who are willing to talk about their COVID-19
experiences for linguistic research. Participants will be paired with
an unacquainted speaker of their age for a 20-minute Zoom meeting to
talk about any aspect of their COVID-19 pandemic experiences. After
the recording, each selected participant will be gifted with an Amazon
Gift Card valued at $15 USD as a token of appreciation.

The Zoom meeting will be recorded and transcribed. The aim of this
study is purely for linguistic research, and your identity will be
protected. Transcriptions of the conversation or still images,
however, may be reproduced in research publications, and clips of your
interactions may be played at academic conferences.

You must be able to talk on Zoom, with video enabled, using a laptop
or desktop (not a phone) on the day you are available.

If you are willing to help, please fill out this form in English:

Our research assistants will contact you if you are selected to
participate in the study.

the principal investigator!
