Directory         1.     James Myers , New and Improved Experimental Syntax Tool Message 1: New and Improved Experimental Syntax Tool Date: 18-Oct-2011 From: James Myers <Lngmyersccu.edu.tw> Subject: New and Improved Experimental Syntax Tool E-mail this message to a friend MiniJudge 2.0, the latest version of a software tool for designing, running, and analyzing small-scale syntactic acceptability judgment experiments, is available for download: MiniJudge 2.0: www.ccunix.ccu.edu.tw/~lngproc/MiniJudgeJava2.htm Earlier versions: www.ccunix.ccu.edu.tw/~lngproc/MiniJudge.htm Like all previous versions, MiniJudge 2.0 remains free and open- source, but it has been totally redesigned to increase flexibility and ease of use: - has a new visually intuitive interface for generalizing a basic sentence set to new sets - distributes surveys not only on paper and in a lab setting, but also via a dedicated website - communicates directly with R for statistical analysis While we think MiniJudge 2.0 is already a very useful tool, for both students and experienced syntacticians who want to double-check fuzzy judgments, we are always looking for ways to improve it. (One known limitation is that it currently requires Windows or Linux - sorry!) So please try it out and give us your comments and suggestions - or, since it's open source, take what you like and build an even better tool!
