On balance, I've decided that the following forwarded message might be of sufficient interest and use to list participants to justify sending it & possibly incurring people's ire. If it irks you, please believe me to have been well-intentioned. ------- Forwarded Message From: dcorn@unagi.cis.upenn.edu (Deogracia Cornelio) Subject: CALLHOME/CALLFRIEND Projects Cc: callhome@unagi.cis.upenn.edu Dear Sir/Madam: The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) at the University of Pennsylvania is collecting telephone conversations in many of the world's major spoken languages. The conversations are being recorded to be used for scientific and educational purposes only. At this time we are involved in recruiting native speakers for participation in three programs. CALLFRIEND offers a FREE, 30 minute long-distance call within the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada to native speakers of Japanese, Korean, French, German, Vietnamese, Tamil, Hindi, Spanish, Farsi and English, plus $10.00 for their time. The CALLHOME project offers a FREE 30 minute call to anywhere in the world to native speakers of Egyptian Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin, German, Spanish and English, and also pays $10.00. VAHA (Voice Across Hispanic-America) is for Spanish speakers and requires that participants read some phrases over the telephone. It takes them about 5 minutes and callers are paid $5.00 for their time. Calls must be between two native speakers and will be recorded, butthe identities of the participants in these projects are keptconfidential. No names, addresses or any information that could identify participants will be released in the database produced. Please let me know in which of the projects you would like to participate and I will replay with instructions to make the call(s) and a PIN. We offer reimbursement for people who would recruit participants for us. Please, call us at 1-800-380-7366 for more information if you are interested. Thank you for your interest in our programs.
