Multipic is a newly developed database of naming norms and familiarity scores of 500 coloured pictures of concrete everyday objects; this is currently provided in 33 different languages/language varieties from around the world, ensuring linguistic and cultural diversity, and making it the first dataset to provide reliable translation equivalents across such a variety of languages. More details can be found here:
https://research.reading.ac.uk/christos-lab/the-multilingual-picture-dataset-multipic/

We are currently expanding Multpic to include norms in standard Albanian. We are therefore looking for speakers of Albanian to help us by providing names to these pictures. The experiment is administered online and lasts for about one hour, and breaks are inserted during the test at every 50 trials. The full Information Sheet can be found here:

We would be greateful if you could circulate this to any interested parties, as we need a sustantial sample to complete this norming.
