Zompist Bboard Again

I'll do it if you're still looking for participants. Hi Jon! I'd love for you to take part. Please, fire away! :D I'll try to get it done this week. I'm off work for a week but I'm still pretty busy trying to get a mortgage sorted, so hopefully I'll find some time to get this done. Hi there! If you...

It doesn't seem like there are that enough sentences to draw major conclusions, though... maybe that's just me. And I feel like you need more "dummy" or "control" sentences, ones without obvious controversial words in them. I just sent it, anyway All will become clear in time, y...

Hey Bryan. Good to see old members popping in. [you haven't lost your postcount! It's just... been misplaced... on another board...] I'm afraid though I prefer the sort of anonymity that doesn't involve registering my name and date of birth on file - and I'm not sure I could find my microphone in a...

Is this still going? I'm a Briton and native speaker, and I'd be happy to help. I absolutely do still need help! Thank you for offering. :-D I just need you to record yourself reading those sentences, answer that little bio info, and then email it to me at Bryan.Parry.16@ucl.ac.uk. Thank you again!...

Good luck! I'm unfortunately a speaker of American English (US West, some Californian vowel shift), so I can't help you. Dissertating/thesisizing is terrible, so just try to get it finished and then you can breathe easy! I know! The sooner I get my quota of people, the sooner I can crack on with th...

Guess I'm running out of juice, eh? I need more people. After that, I promise I will get back to posting about conlangs!

You could try the CBB. Good call. I tried to do something similar a few years ago and had to abandon it and go for a questionnaire-type thing. I think I had one or two people from here (maybe Sal and Pthag? I don't remember) but not nearly enough for what I intended. Have you tried going round wher...

Good call.

I don't have a microphone, but wouldn't it be easiest to round up your MA colleagues? Or advertise around the English School and elsewhere in the Uni. That seems to be how students get volunteers in my experience All of my MA colleagues did not grow up in the UK, bar one -- and he's done it already...

Just bumping this again.

Anyone got any ideas? As I am STRUGGLING.

Done. However, I suspect people who are actually interested in linguistics aren't the best people to get genuinely natural recordings off... True, but then previous similar studies used very high percentages of such people whereas I have very few. Furthermore, beggars can't be choosers! Haha. FINLA...

Hey mate, long time indeed! I've kept up conlanging, which is unsurprising given I've been doing since aged seven or eight (I've got the bug, and it's not curable, as you know), I just haven't been foruming much. Anyway, as for the recording, the sooner the better. Theoretically, I have a few weeks....

I've had one respondent which, if I'm going to be perfectly honest, is more than I expected! Haha. But if anyone else wants to take part, please get in touch. It's only five minutes. And it's super duper trooper fun...

An amusing and accurate summary. Ah, Theresa May, the woman that nobody wants as PM. Ah, Chequers, the plan that nobody, pro-Remain or pro-Leave or the EU, wants. Ah, Mother of Parliaments, Home of Democracy, Land of Hope and Glory...

Hi Sal, no worries, although rest assured that your name/alias and DOB are solely kept for my reference and are never revealed to anyone. But no worries if it doesn't float your boat.

I do hope I can get my postcount back. I crave every slice of spam I posted.

Informed Consent Form I'll email you this if you decide to take part. :-) Participant Script Below are nineteen short passages. Please read them through a couple of times to yourself so that you are familiar with them. Then, please record yourself reading them out aloud. Please take a few moments b...

Hi guys, Old-timers will probably remember me. Shame we've all lost our post count. Yes, that stuff matters to me... Anyway... I'm doing my dissertation for an MA in English Linguistics right now and I need participants for my study. Literally, all I need is around five minutes of your time. I need ...
