Research Work Opportunity involving Arabic
by Neil Myler 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Dear BULAers, I hope you are having a relaxing summer! A graduate student in the linguistics program is looking for help with Arabic. See below, and get in touch with her if you are interested. --- Greetings fellow linguists! My name is Dominique. I'm currently in the MA applied linguistics program at BU. I am in need of a highly proficient Arabic user to assist me on some of the components of my research study. In this study, I am investigating the role of spatial bias in a phenomenon known as the "SNARC" effect on Arabic-English bilinguals. Most of the work can be done remotely; however, some of it would take place either on BU's campus or at another school very close by. Below are the tasks which are needed to be filled: -translate documents from English to Arabic -monitor Arabic-version of the experiment/assist Arabic-speaking participants *in* Arabic -translate questionnaire responses from Arabic to English **note: *There may be an opportunity for *UROP funding*. My faculty advisor is Charles Chang. Please note your interest in this opportunity in your email. If you fit the qualifications and one/more of these jobs interest you, please email me directly at *dlopicco(a)bu.edu <dlopicco(a)bu.edu>. * Thank you, Dominique ---
