Directory         1.     Helen Fraser , Experiment: Interpretation of a Crisis Call Message 1: Experiment: Interpretation of a Crisis Call Date: 20-May-2011 From: Helen Fraser <helenbfrasergmail.com> Subject: Experiment: Interpretation of a Crisis Call E-mail this message to a friend We are hoping to drum up participants for an experiment we are running which is aimed at native speakers of English. Sorry I can't tell you anything about it in advance except I am pretty sure you will find it interesting! This could also be suitable for class discussion if you wanted to ask some students to do it - but of course you should do it yourself first to be sure it is appropriate for your students. Also, please feel free to forward it to non-linguists! Thanks very much, Helen Fraser ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Please participate in our experiment 'Interpretation of a crisis call'. It is in the form of an online survey, in which you listen to a real crisis call and answer a series of questions in response to gradually-revealed information. It should take about 20-30 minutes of your time. All necessary instructions are provided within the survey itself. In case you need persuading, so far those who have done the experiment have overwhelmingly answered the question 'How interesting was this survey?' with 'very interesting'! The only thing we ask is that you do not discuss the survey with anyone who has not already taken it.
