We need your help and you can help a charity with your participation:

Id-Dipartiment tax-Xjenza Konjittiva fl-Università ta’ Malta qed iwettaq studju online dwar kif nipperċepixxu d-differenzi fl-espressjoni, anke meta żewġ frażijiet ikunu miktubin bl-istess mod eż. "kiel is-serp" (he ate the snake) u "kiel is-serp" (the snake ate).
L-istudju jieħu madwar 10 minuti biex jitlesta.
❗ Importanti: L-istudju jista’ jsir biss fuq kompjuter jew laptop, mhux fuq smartphone jew tablet, għax jeħtieġ l-użu tat-tastiera.
Biex nirringrazzjawkom, għal kull wieħed mill-ewwel 100 parteċipant, se nagħmlu donazzjoni ta’ €5 lil karità tal-għażla tagħkom (Hospice Malta, Richmond Foundation, Żibel, AAA Malta, Animal Shelters, Equal Partners Foundation, ROTA).
Napprezzaw ħafna l-appoġġ tagħkom! 🙌
