Online resources from today

Here’s a quick list of the resources we looked at in class.

First was the World Atlas of Language Structures Online (WALS), which we’d also looked at a bit before. This time our look included playing a bit with the Mac application (there are also version for Windows) that can be found here.

We also looked around a bit in The Universals Archive, and Das grammatische Raritätenkabinett.

We explored a little bit in of the Typological Database System (Firefox or IE only, though, not Safari).

There was a glancing look at StressTyp, a database of information about stress systems across languages.

And lastly we looked at the Ethnologue.

We also talked a bit about the “final project,” which I’ll write about separately.
