In the workshop, we will study the task in detail: its use in linguistics, its application, its analysis. We will try a hands-on approach, creating and analyzing one acceptability experiment during the workshop.
Issues that might trip you up when designing an acceptability experiment will be also discussed.
Teacher: Jakub Dotlačil
The acceptability judgment task belongs to the most common methodologies used to gather data in linguistics.
The task can be used to assess the status of a linguistic construction or the availability of an interpretation, among other things.
