In this project, we are interested in learning about speakers of different languages and their language use. We are looking for two groups of speakers.
Requirements for participation
Group 1 - Native German Speakers
You grew up speaking only German at home with your parents/family
Any level of experience with English is fine
You have not learned any other language (Latin is ok, or very basic French is ok)
Group 2 - Native English Speakers
You grew up speaking only English at home with your parents/family
You have not learned any other language (low A1 level of German is ok)
Participation in the experiment consists of two online sessions and one in person session:
Consists of learning the new language.
Session 1: You will mainly be provided with images and the words in the new language for those images. This requires memorization of the new vocabulary.
Session 2: you will learn how to say sentences in the language with the vocabulary you have learned.
Each session is approximately 30 minutes. It is completed online. You will need a computer with a microphone, an internet connection, some headphones, and a quiet room.
You will come in to the lab at the University of Münster to be recorded while you speak the language that you learned.
You will also say some words and sentences in German and English (if you speak those languages). This session lasts approximately 1 hour.
After completing this session, you will be compensated with €25.
Note: Before attending this session, you will need to complete this short language background questionnaire.
