Además, la operación supondrá unimpulso para los dos servicios de música en streaming en sus planes deexpansión internacional. De este modo, la alianza servirá de punto deapoyo para los planes de Spotify de desembarcar en China. La música,hoy en día, tiene mucho que ver con Spotify. Esta plataforma, creadaen 2008, es actualmente una referencia mundial, con 60 millones desuscriptores de pago el pasado mes de julio, y muchos millones más demodo gratuito. El 72 % de los usuarios son millennials, lo que permiteuna grandísima segmentación hacia este público.”El País, 8 de diciembre de 2017110%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100%geolocalizaciónciberdelitoeurozonananocienciacoworkingnomofobiasobrepescastartupmindfulnessstart-up like sicavbiodisponibilidadtermoarcillamicogastronomíabenzodiacepinablended-learningwearablecardsharingalcolockClassicalcompoundsUnadaptedloanwordsExperiments12• Ionic: framework for appdevelopment• HTML• JavaScript• CSS• MongoDB: Dynamic databases• Functionalities:• Neology identification (volunteerssuggest neologisms)• Gamification: volunteers suggestneologisms and rate others’contibutionsApplication13App:sending a neologism14App:accepting and rejecting neologism15App:rating neologisms16Application17• Currently looking for a server to hostboth the app and its database• Still under development: production• Working on implementing a newfunction: mobile camera• Gamification: future way to expand andoptimize the app18PescapalabrasA crowdsourcing platform to:• Contact participants for future experiments• Organize events• Participant recruitment• Participant training• Protocol testing• Download the app• Acknowledge the participants• Gamify the protocols19What’s next?• Work in progress• Any help or suggestion will be welcome:• To implement and optimize the app (we do need aserver!)• To collaborate as a participantObrigados pela atenção!Apprehending new words from the crowd Citizen science as a lexicographical toolNava Maroto GarcíaMiguel Sánchez IbáñezPablo Gómez SanzUniversidad Politécnica de MadridDepartamento de Lingüística Aplicada a la Ciencia y la Tecnología20
