「世界似詞網」線上實驗平台公開
各位語言學同好,大家好:
我們很榮幸地在此公開免費的跨語言類型心理語言學網路實驗工具: 「世界似詞網」(https://www. worldlikeness.org)。在這個網路平台中, 您可以設計簡單的心理語言學實驗(如使用圖片、語音、 或文字的接受度判斷實驗或是真假詞判斷實驗)、 透過網路蒐集您的實驗資料、 並且和其他世界各地的語言學家分享您的實驗結果。「世界似詞網」 的目標是讓跨語言的心理語言學研究更接近語言類型學。 如同語言類型學家的研究是基於個別語言的描述, 各個心理語言學家可以利用像「世界似詞網」 這樣的工具蒐集並分享自己研究的目標語言的資料, 而語言類型學家即可透過分析不同語言的資料集, 研究影響語言處理的普遍和語言特定因素。
您可以參考「世界似詞網」上的「簡介」和「使用者手冊」, 以獲得更多的資訊,如理論與研究方法的背景、「世界似詞網」 的系統架構、以及此系統架構如何符合研究倫理規範。 文末附上我們使用「世界似詞網」進行的研究成果以供參考。 若您對我們的研究計畫有任何的問題和意見,歡迎隨時告訴我們!

Dear fellow linguists,
It’s our pleasure to announce a free Web experiment tool for typological psycholinguistics – Worldlikeness (https://www.worldlikeness.org ). In this web app, you can design simple psycholinguistic experiments (e.g., acceptability judgments or lexical decisions using pictures, sounds, and texts), crowdsource your data collection online, and share your experimental results with other linguists around the world. The goal of Worldlikeness is to make cross-linguistic psycholinguistics more like typological linguistics: just as typologists start with individual language descriptions, with tools like Worldlikeness, individual psycholinguists can collect and share data from languages of their own interest, and typologists can then conduct analyses across the data sets to study universal and language-specific factors that influence language processing.
Please check the introduction and user manual sections in the web app for more information about the theoretical and methodological background and the web system itself, including how it conforms with guidelines on research ethics. Our studies using Worldlikeness are attached at the end of this message for your reference. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments on our project!
