<div dir="ltr"><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">We would like to invite you to participate in 
a short online experiment we are currently running as part of a research project 
on sound symbolism and emotional valence.</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">The study aims to investigate whether 
sublexical phonemic patterns (in the absence of lexical meaning and human 
prosody) systematically convey emotional valence. </p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">In the experiment, participants are asked to 
match short, robotically pronounced pseudowords with visual stimuli. The task is 
simple and takes only a few minutes to complete.</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">The experiment can be accessed via the 
following link: </p>

<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd"></p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd"></p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Participation is anonymous; we only record 
basic information such as native language and gender, and no personal 
identifying data is collected.</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">If you have a few minutes and are willing to 
contribute, your participation would be greatly appreciated. We would also be 
grateful if you chose to share the link with colleagues or students who might be 
interested.</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Thank you very much for your time and 
consideration.</p>
<p>With best regards,</p>
<p>Velina Slavova, Krassimir Markov</p></div></font></div></div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br><table style="border-top:1px solid #d3d4de"><tr><td style="width:55px;padding-top:13px"><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!RRVdlynYWJcaUL5bezyTAYYaTDii2yBm3D9SVFucnaD9-WV74hnZTpw-7EcYvad7RPoREFeVeWuWt7Csv6g$" target="_blank"><img src="https://s-install.avcdn.net/ipm/preview/icons/icon-envelope-tick-round-orange-animated-no-repeat-v1.gif" alt="" width="46" height="29" style="width: 46px; height: 29px;"></a></td><td style="width:470px;padding-top:12px;color:#41424e;font-size:13px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:18px">Virus-free.<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!RRVdlynYWJcaUL5bezyTAYYaTDii2yBm3D9SVFucnaD9-WV74hnZTpw-7EcYvad7RPoREFeVeWuWt7Csv6g$" target="_blank" style="color:#4453ea">www.avast.com</a></td></tr></table><a href="#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2" width="1" height="1"></a></div>
