This is very interesting. How will the labeling work? Some online questionnaire / google form?
Let me know exactly what's expected and I'll see what I can do. If we can find 60 volunteers, that's only ten sets of ten words
each -- but I might be misunderstanding how you'd need to collect the answers
(and how you control for humans reporting incorrectly).
