·A Logical Approach to Computational Corpus Linguistics: This page is dedicated to an approach to
corpus linguistics that uses sentences of logic to express statements about texts, and inference to
manipulate these sentences in order to analyse the texts.
·Aboriginal Child Language Acquisition project (Australia): This site describes the second phase of a
longitudinal study into child language, and child-directed speech, in multilingual Indigenous Australian
communities. The project focuses on school-aged children (at home and in the school environment) and
is funded by the Australian Research Council. Our project website contains information about the

·Academia.edu: Dear all, I’m a Fellow in philosophy at All Souls College Oxford, where I recently finished
my D.Phil on the intersection of the philosophy of language and the philosophy of perception. I’ve just
launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two things: - It displays academics around the world
in a 'tree' format, according to what university/department they are affiliated with. - It enables an academic
to have an easy-to-maintain academic webpage. My webpage on Academia.edu is here:
http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice My hope for the site is that it will list every academic – Faculty
members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students - in the world, and display where they are working. I also
hope people will use the site to keep track of what people in their field are working on. Linguistics is
currently one of the most active research interests on Academia.edu, with people in 13 different sub-
research interests: Composition Studies Computational Linguistics / Natural Language Processing
Discourse Analysis Historical Linguistics History Of Linguistics Interlinguistics Languages Morphology
Philology Phonetics Phonology Pragmatics Rhetoric Semantics Semiotics Sociolinguistics Syntax I’m
trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu, so, if you have a minute, please visit the site, and
add yourself to your department. If your department/university is not there, you can add it/them by clicking
on the arrows coming out of the department/university boxes. And do spread the word to your friends and
colleagues if you can. Many thanks, Richard Dr. Richard Price, Prize Fellow, All Souls College, Oxford,

·Academy of the Hebrew Language: The official site of the Academy of the Hebrew Language
·ACQUILEX Project on Computational Lexicons and Lexicography: The Acquilex projects were funded by
the European Commission under the Basic Research initiative. The goal of the first project was to explore
the utility of constructing a multilingual lexical knowledge base from machine-readable versions of
conventional dictionaries. The second project extended this goal by exploring the utility of machine
readable textual corpora as a source of lexical information not coded in conventional dictionaries, and by
adding dictionary publishing partners to exploit the lexical database and corpus extraction software
developed by the projects for conventional lexicography.

World Languages Network is to exchange experience and information making use of the possibilities that
internet provides. Any person or organisation will be able to participate presenting their works or offering
their knowledge and experience. A forum will be created approaching this project to people in charge of
maintaining the linguistic heritage, researchers, working groups, etc. It will promote the establishment of
an adequate linguistic policy for the recuperation of languages in danger.

·AMERIND: AMERIND is a discussion list for examining hypotheses concerning deep relationships
between Native American language families and isolates, 20 years after the publication of Joseph
Greenberg's 'Language in the Americas'. The Greenbergian scheme has diffused widely through the
media, and is often uncritically accepted by linguistic typologists, geneticists and others. Work by Sapir,
Swadesh, Haas, and others can also be discussed. This particular horse may seem to have been beaten
to death in the period after 1987, but questions still remain, and newer findings need to be integrated into
the discussion. Hope to see you there. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/amerind Jess Tauber

·Building a Catalogue of South American Languages: Etnolinguistica.Org, an information hub on
indigenous South American languages (http://www.etnolinguistica.org), has recently launched an initiative
to create a peer- maintained, up-to-date catalogue of South American languages, relying on a network of
linguists directly involved in the documentation and analysis of the continent's languages. Each entry in
the catalogue is an individual page providing basic information such as number of speakers, location,
genetic affiliation, etc. Additional information on the catalogue (currently, only in Portuguese) can be
found at the following address: http://www.etnolinguistica.org/linguas The catalogue is cross-referenced
with a directory of South Americanists (http://www.etnolinguistica.org/cadastro) and an ever-growing list of
online resources (theses, news articles, academic papers, hard-to-find books, etc.), in such a way that, by
clicking on a given language tag, one can find not only a list of online materials, but ways of getting
directly in touch with linguists working on that language as well. It is hoped that such integration between
authors and resources will ensure a certain measure of control, by the scientific community, over the
quality of the information being provided. The catalogue's editors strongly urge all interested colleagues to
contribute to this initiative, by reviewing the available entries
(http://www.etnolinguistica.org/catalogo:preenchidas) and filling up the online form available at the
following address: http://www.etnolinguistica.org/form:lingua All the best, The editors

project: Morphosyntactic tagset for Bulgarian, Guidelines for the treebank.
·Cartografía lingüística de Extremadura: Completed in 2000 from the Complutense University of Madrid,
González Salgado's work is a complete study of the phonetic and lexical variety of speech in one
particular area of Spain (Extremadura). In his website, the author has made available online the
methodology, background, and conclusions of his doctoral thesis, as well as a selection of his research
papers in the same area. The thesis is based upon extensive interviews with local inhabitants, which have
been represented by means of linguistic and ethnographic maps, and transcribed here. Of special interest
for the researcher may be a comprehensive list of linguistic atlases on the internet for countries and areas
around the world; in addition to an updated bibliography on the subject. Users may also access PDFs of a
number of papers by the author on such areas as: the traditional vocabulary of Extremadura; the
phonetics of Extremaduran dialects; and differences in oral and written language in Extremadura.
Pleasingly illustrated throughout with images of the region, and with a detailed overview of traditional local
customs, this site will appeal to those with a particular interest in Extremadura, as well as those working
on regional differences in the Spanish language.

·HindiTech: The absence of a field of knowledge in a language is sign of imperfection of concerned
society not of the language. In this entire process, due to lack of better coordination and contemporary
development, the objectivity and capability of the language becomes questionable after certain period
even ridiculous, too. This is happening with all Indian languages in localising process of information
technology. These languages are unable to make better correlation with speedy development of
computational behaviours. Hindi is one of them. So instead of the sense of present satisfaction, a
determined commitment towards resolving the upcoming challenges can be accumulated with hope and
this e-forum is a modest effort in this direction. Promotion of Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence in wider
range of India is one of the purposes of the forum, scientific writing and original thinking in Hindi will be
encouraged as well. Thus, the scholars who are involve in in-depth research in the several areas of
Natural Language Processing and their efforts, experiences and achievements can be made accessible
at the mass level. It can be encouraged with academic intervention among various research institutions
with meaningful dialogue, so that, this accessible forum can promote researchers for their writings with
research and development resulting into avoidance of natural vagueness of secondary sources of writing.
This forum is also targeted to make available a fare reviews of books, softwares and formalisms of
concerned discipline with the aim of popularising them among interested people and to initiate dialogue
about its utilities. Although, the medium of the accompanying magazine will be Hindi and English, there
will be space to coordinate with all Indian languages. However as per its commitment, the magazine will
be centralised to Hindi, for Hindi and through Hindi. If English will peep a little, that should be taken as
natural pressure of this subject and also a positive indication of forthcoming acceptance for Hindi in this
discipline. This web-forum is committed to create conducive academic environment for research &
development. Accordingly a huge database will be prepared where Linguists, Computer Scientists and
their academic activities can be preserved with the aim of making them available at mass level. Finally, It
is requested to all the scholars to enrich the forum with their important suggestions, writings and view
sharing.

last decade the coordinator of the Sociology of Organizations Group within the Spanish Sociology
Association. Within this area there is a group of about 6 researchers interested in different aspects of
organizational phenomena. b) Social problems This area carries out research on topics, such as gender,
social structures (poverty, social exclusion, etc.), public policies, etc. This broad research area is led by
several researchers, according to their areas of expertise. In this track there are about 8-10 researchers
specialized in different fields and topics. RIO: In 2007 the group launched a new academic journal
“Revista Internacional de Organizaciones” RIO (International Journal of Organizations), with the
institutional support of the Ibero-American Association of Sociology of Organizations. Although it
publishes articles mainly in Spanish, RIO is also open to articles in English. It has a target number of 2
issues per year for the first coming years. In 2010 two Russian scholars took part in the Seminar's
meetings. On March 25 Professor Valery A. Mansurov, PhD, the President of Russian Society of
Sociologists (RSS), Deputy Director of the ORAS Institute of sociology RAS, Head of the Sector of
Sociology of Profession and Professional Groups of the ORAS IS RAS, member of RSS, ISA, ESA,
presented his lecture on the international Projects and collaboration between RSS and other countries.

·LANCHART - Danish National Research Foundation Centre for Language Change In Real Time: The
aim of establishing the Danish National Research foundation’s Centre for Language Change In Real Time
(the LANCHART centre) is to develop and empirically test a new theory of language change. Theoretical
work will inform the parallel empirical study. Thus, the purpose of the centre is: To formulate and test a
model for language change on new Danish data by performing a large scale survey of change in real time
exploiting previous dialectological and sociolinguistic projects. The model integrates sociolinguistics and
language history and should, in addition, consider biological, neurological, as well as developmental and
social psychological constraints on language maintenance and change. It should detail specific historical
processes as possible determinants of change. Empirical Work: The data will be collected by carefully re-
recording the original informants of a total of seven dialectological and sociolinguistic studies carried out
in various parts of Denmark. The replications will give us data on language change in real time as
opposed to the standard model of change in apparent time. In addition, new and supplementary data from
the local speech communities, including among other things, data on language attitudes, will enable us to
test the representativity of the panel of informants studied in real time. Finally, new interviews with
informants who were too young to be interviewed previously, will make it possible for the next generation
of researchers to further specify the picture of Denmark as a speech community. Denmark is the ideal
laboratory for a study of how a minor nation state has changed from a predominantly agricultural society
in 1900 to a multilingual, post-industrial speech community at the end of the 20th century. The historical
processes studied will include: Urbanization Changes in socialization practice The internationalization of
the Danish society The Scientific Relevance of the LANCHART Project The LANCHART project will result
in a unique description of the linguistic history of a more or less typical minor nation state based on
geographically distributed speech samples. Additionally, the study of language change in general may
benefit from this study. Language history must be based on the study of written sources, but we need to
know how and why speech changes as well. In real time.

·Le français à la mesure d'un continent: un patrimoine en partage (dir. F. Martineau): The main focus of
this international collaborative research initiative is to understand the tensions generated by the
discrepancies between linguistic borders and the borders of cultural identity, both of which are in constant
flux. This project aims to examine how these borders intermesh, by analysing the practices and
representations of French speakers and the communities they formed in French America, as well as by
placing individuals and their language at the focus of social change. Thus, this innovative program takes
a unified approach to comparing relations between language as a cognitive entity and language as a
cultural entity. In order to account for the complexity of the relationship, this project is supported by an
international multidisciplinary team of experts from various human science disciplines and by respected
partners from within the French-speaking community. By considering the heritage that Francophones
share, assessing the effects of cultural and linguistic transfers, and recognizing the crucial role of
representations and attitudes in relation to language, researchers will be in a better position to identify the
contemporary issues facing French-speaking minority, majority and multicultural communities. This
project will further help advance knowledge of linguistic change, migration and intercultural relations, as
well as the dynamics of minority communities. It will also be of great concern to Canadian society through
the issues it addresses and the reflections it prompts will help consolidate Canada's leadership within the
international French-speaking community.

·MORILAN: ‘Morphology in language-contact situations: Greek dialects in contact with Turkish and Italian’
(MORILAN) is a project which aims to examine how morphology can be affected in language-contact
situations. The investigated data are drawn from Grekanico (Griko and Bovese, South Italy), Heptanesian
(Western part of Greece), and three Asia Minor dialects, Pontic, Cappadocian and Aivaliot. The project
focuses on 6 salient questions that are of major importance in linguistic theory: (a) the base of word
formation and (b) the relation between form and meaning in contact-induced systems, (c) the relation
between borrowing and lexical information, (d) possible differences in borrowability between the members
of major grammatical categories, (e) borrowability of functional elements, and (f) borrowability of
inflectional and derivational morphemes. The project aims at inaugurating a scientific field which remains
unexplored in Greek linguistics and to contribute to the ongoing research concerning morphology in
language contact situations. We also aim to promote an international dialogue on this issue, thus, we
encourage people to send us comments and/or questions concerning these issues. MORILAN URL:

·Pattern Chemistry of Language: The collection of e-publications 'Pattern Chemistry of Language' is an
attempt to apply Pattern Theory of Ulf Grenander (see numerous links on the Web) to the atomistic
aspects of language. The central organizing idea of Chemistry, borrowed from Physics, is that between
an initial stable state of atoms connected in a particular way, and the final stable state of the same atoms
connected in a different way, there is an unstable fleeting state of transition (transition state) from one to
the other. Pattern Theory is a kind of generalized Chemistry. If applied to language, it regards it as a
natural process governed by relative stability and kinetics of linguistic structures.

most famous for working with Genie, and Dr. Jeni Yamada. The CYCLE is an in-depth assessment test
that allows the clinician or researcher to examine comprehensively, a subject’s linguistic knowledge and
performance in syntax, morphology, and semantics, and submodules in these components. The CYCLE
covers structures and features that emerge between 1 1/2 and 10 years of age, the active language
development years. It includes a wide range of linguistic structures, including early to late acquired forms
and grammatically simple to grammatically complex forms. The structures covered thus comprise a major
part of the grammatical core of English. The CYCLE is useful for assessing whether specific aspects of
the grammar are intact or affected and can be used with subjects across a wide range of ages and
cognitive abilities. To learn more about the test please visit the website. http://www.thecycletest.com/
