Povzetek

V prispevku opisujemo projekt gradnje prve obsežnejše zbirke prostih asociacij za slovenščino. Podatkovna zbirka SWOW-SL je nastala v sklopu krovnega projekta Small World of Words, pri katerem se asociacije zbirajo za številne jezike in ki predstavlja metodološki okvir za našo raziskavo. Najprej opišemo postopek izbire iztočnic in prilagajanja spletnega eksperimenta za slovenščino, nato pa podrobneje predstavimo kampanjo zbiranja podatkov, pri kateri smo udeležence nagovarjali prek družabnih omrežij in s tiskanimi oglasi v obliki plakatov in nalepk. Uspešnost posameznih oglasnih strategij smo skrbno spremljali, zato lahko izkušnje iz projekta služijo tudi kot dragoceno izhodišče za morebitne sorodne množičenjske kampanje. V projektu smo uspeli zbrati asociacije za 1.000 slovenskih iztočnic v skupnem obsegu 20.000 odzivov. Zbirka podatkov je objavljena na repozitoriju Clarin.si in ponuja številne možnosti za nadaljnje raziskave s področij kognitivnega jezikoslovja, računalniške obdelave naravnega jezika in sorodnih disciplin.
