LINGUIST List 21.3244 Wed Aug 11 2010 Qs: Survey on Online Dictionaries Editor for this issue: Danielle St. Jean <daniellelinguistlist.org> We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query. To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.cfm. Directory         1.    Antje Töpel, Survey on Online Dictionaries Message 1: Survey on Online Dictionaries Date: 11-Aug-2010 From: Antje Töpel <toepelids-mannheim.de> Subject: Survey on Online Dictionaries E-mail this message to a friend Dear colleagues, As part of an ongoing research project at the Institute for German Language in Mannheim, Germany, financed by the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Scientific Community, we are collecting empirical data on the use of online dictionaries, as only a few studies exist in this area. To this end, we are conducting online surveys in German and English. Our current study examines how users evaluate several features or elements of online dictionaries and how they rate different visual representations of information. We would be very grateful if you would support our research by participating in this survey. The survey should take approximately 25 to 30 minutes to complete. Until September 16, it can be launched using any web browser by clicking on the link below: http://www.unipark.de/uc/benutzungsforschung2/?a=&b= In return for your participation, you may enter our drawing for 10 Amazon vouchers, worth 10 Euro each. In addition, we will donate 1 Euro for each completed questionnaire to the programme "Girls' Education", which is part of the aid project "Room to Read" (www.roomtoread.org). Furthermore, we would be grateful if you could forward this email or the link to people who might be interested in participating, e. g. colleagues or your students. Thank you very much for supporting our research.
