Hello,
My name is Darcie Blainey, and I am a PhD student at Tulane University. I am conducting an online study to examine potential links between the rate of amusia (inability to distinguish different melodies) in a speech population and their language's tone status. I am therefore looking for native speakers of English (non-tonal), Yoruba, and Mandarin (tonal) to complete the 10-minute online study. I am especially in need of native Mandarin and Yoruba speakers. Speakers can be of any nationality, as long as they are between the ages of 12 and 90 and have access to an internet connection with sound. Speakers are required to fill out an anonymous demographics form, and then listen pairs of melodies, in order to decide whether they are the same or different. Speakers will receive no compensation for participation in the study. The study website is available at the following address: Mandarin: http://www.tulane.edu/~klingler/musiclanguagetest/app/webroot/index.p hp/home/chi Yoruba: http://www.tulane.edu/~klingler/musiclanguagetest/app/webroot/index.p hp/home/yor There may be complications when using the Safari browser on Mac computers. We are working to resolve this bug, but in the event of difficulties, please try using a different browser. This research is based on the work of Isabelle Peretz and colleagues. More information about the study can be provided on request. Naturally, I will report to LinguistList on any eventual findings of the research. Please consider posting this information on LinguistList, and forwarding the links to any potential participants. I greatly appreciate your assistance, and thank you in advance for your help! Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Sincerely yours, Darcie Blainey musiclanguagetest@gmail.com |
