Help us to rate expressions in Basque in this online questionnaire
- Two teachers and researchers have posted a survey on the network that collects data on some of the expressions in Basque that are being collected. It will take you 5 minutes to fill but attentive, there are two questionnaires, if you were born on an odd day, they ask you to fill the 1st A and if you were born on a double day 1B.
This is what the survey by Xabier Artoagoitia and Iñigo Arteatxe says:
"We are analyzing some expressions in Euskera and we would be grateful if you would dedicate 5 minutes to this questionnaire to express your opinion or appraisal about the spalmolds. There are no good or bad answers, but what everyone uses, says or understands. Even though we each use it in one way, we've used standard writing. So, if you say “mendire noie” and you see “I’m going to the mountain” in our survey, you’ll have to consider them as equals. Because our interest is in forms, not words."
The data collected will be used for research purposes. On the other hand, no data will be collected to identify the respondent, guaranteeing the anonymity of the participants at all times. The data will be kept by the UPV/EHU and you will be able to access or cancel them.
That's what editor Sustatu has read, looking at the even day survey -- we think it's going to be the same for those born in pairs.
As shown in the image, each of the expressions proposed are evaluated at scale 1-5, from the consideration of "Not Basque" to the conclusion that it is "an excellent phrase".
