LINGUIST List 22.2050 Thu May 12 2011 Qs: Survey: Translation-Elicitation Task 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.

One of the factors we are considering is the similarity between words and their equivalents in the L2. In order to find cognates and false friends, a translation-elicitation task has been designed. This test asks volunteers from the USA to guess the translation of some Spanish words. Participants must be American English native speakers who have never studied Spanish. If you fulfill the requirements and if you can spare the time, please gain access to this survey through the link you will find below and complete it. Your help is greatly appreciated.
