Language Study
Thanks a lot for your participation in this experiment!
Task
In this experiment you are asked to rate the naturalness of sentences on a scale from 1 (very unnatural) to 7 (very natural).
Procedure
First I will ask you to enter some information about your person into a data window.
This data serves purely scientific purposes and will be treated anonymously.
All personal information will be deleted after the completion of the study.
Then the experiment starts.
Experiment: Sentence judgements
Your task is to judge the naturalness of sentences.
You will consecutively be shown different sentence types on the screen. Your task is to judge the naturalness of the sentence and to indicate your assessment by choosing a value on a 7-point scale:.
1 - very unnatural
7 - very natural
Here are some examples:
|
The father fetches the food for the children.
|
|
This sentence sounds very natural. You could rate it with '6' or '7'.
|
|
|
|
The father fetches the children it.
|
|
This sentence sounds a little bit odd, but not totally unnatural. You could rate it with '3' or '4'.
|
|
|
|
The father fetches the food the children.
|
|
This sentence is very unnatural. You could rate it with '1'.
|
Final instructions
You may use a scale from 1-7 to rate the sentences
Try to differentiate as many levels of naturalness as possible.
Use higher values for natural sentences and lower values for unnatural sentences
There are no "right" or "wrong" answers. Just follow your instincts.
