Hey, Mastodon, I have a student who needs some #Scottish English speakers to do an online linguistics experiment. Can you help out? Boosts appreciated, or you can just click the link if you qualify!

EDIT: We have more spaces available!!

@ergative Did this post reach mastodon.scot yet? We don't federate with them but I feel like the greatest concentration of candidates would be found there.
@ljwrites I don't think so. I haven't been checking all the instances of the boosters (there've been so many!), though, so maybe. And of course all the non-region-specific instances may well have their own lurking Scottish contingents too.
@ergative good that it's doing the numbers! Has your student seen an uptick in participants?
@ljwrites Not that they've told me. But it's only been a few hours. I'll probably edit the original post with an update once data collection is done. The great thing about mastodon is that everyone who boosted it will see the update and know that they helped!
@ergative @ljwrites Presumably...
@HighlandLawyer @ljwrites Oh, hey, that's great! THanks so much for letting me know.

@ergative @ljwrites

I am on mastodon.scot and have just boosted it so it has 100% made it there. I'm not a particularly large account, but fingers crossed for you!

@ergative Boosted from this Scotstodon user.

I'm not a native speaker of Scottish English but have lived here for ~13 years, if that qualifies?

@rhiannonrevolts Oh, great, I'm so glad it got to Scotstodon!

I'm afraid it does need to be native Scottish English speaker. But thanks so much for spreading the word!

@ergative @rhiannonrevolts Question from curiosity: specifically just Scottish English, or Scots language too?

@ergative

Do you mean speakers of English living in Scotland?

@ergative

Be sure to post to/tag instances like:

Mastodon.Scot
Glasgow.Social
Ailbhean.co-Shaoghal.net

And hashtag with things like #Scottish #Scots #Scot #Edinburgh #Glasgow etc.

@ergative @james I’ll socialise this at work as we are part of RBS and of course have a lot of people who fit the requirements
@Ric @james Terrific, thanks so much! It only takes about 10 minutes, my student says.
