TELUS International is looking for Appalachian English Linguists for an English Transcreation and Annotation project.
Task description: the task is a two-step process including transcreation and annotation, depending on the availability, the linguist will be assigned to only one step of the process.
Transcreation phase: transcreate given texts into Appalachian English. Please note that the source will be in English. The sentence (about 10 words) or passage (about 40-50 words) should be transcreated in a way that’s most natural for a native speaker of Appalachian English.
Annotation phase: take prompts and outputs in Appalachian English and annotate them based on a series of questions aimed to measure responsiveness.
For example, in US versus UK standard English there are many examples of lexical differences (lorry vs truck; rubbish vs garbage, etc), but it does require some thought to introduce syntactical structure:
In the US, the answer to “Did Frank love it?” is “He must have”; in the UK is “He must have done”.
US: “the film was very good” vs UK: “the film was well good”
UK: “The New York Red Bulls are an American Soccer team”; UK: “FC Red Bull Salzburg is an Austrian association football club”.
Requirements:
- Native or near-native speaker of Appalachian English
- Currently located in the USA
- Degree or experience in a language-related discipline, such as linguistics, language teaching, translation, creative writing, journalism or proofreading, etc.
- Degree in English Linguistics or English language is good to have
- Experience of annotation or similar tasks is a plus
- Over 18 years old
- Access to a computer (desktop/laptop) and stable Internet connection
Estimated start date: Immediately
Estimated workload: up to 10 hours per week
Project duration: 1-2 weeks
Compensation:
- $25.00 per hour
- Payments are made via TELUS International AI Community Portal
Assessment: a project-specific writing test will be administered as part of the screening for this project after you have confirmed your availability.
