of Bristol research study on how people understand sarcasm online.
What's involved?

- Read tweets and tell us whether you think they're sarcastic, what
they mean, and how easy they are to understand
- That's it — everything is done online, in your own time
You'll receive a £10 Amazon voucher for completing all three
questionnaires.
Who can take part?
British native English speakers
Aged 18+
