General Linguistics Resources
- All Things Linguistic- a regular blog and veritable rabbit hole of linguistic resources, including teaching materials, slides, activities, videos.
- LingAlert- subscribe for conference announcements (a leaner, sparser version of LINGUIST List).
- Lingbuzz- unpublished manuscripts, sometimes very provocative new research
- Rutgers Optimality Archive (ROA) - similar to Lingbuzz, but research in OT only (and not just phonology)
- UNC page on conferences- very important to read and reference: not all conferences were created equal.
- LINGUIST List- still the best resource for conferences and job postings in Linguistics.
- PHOIBLE- a repository of cross-linguistic phonological inventory data.
- WALS - World Atlas of Linguistic Structure. Go-to for cool maps showing distribution of language features.
- Famous linguists’ blogs: Language Log; David Adger, Norbert Hornstein, Arnold Zwicky, Kai von Fintel
- Every linguist should email Noam Chomsky at least once.
- TROLLing- The Tromsø Repository of Language and Linguistics: an open access archive of linguistic data and code (intro video)
Corpora
UW has access to many corpora:
- BYU Corpora - includes COCA, and a dozen other easily-searchable English and Spanish corpora with historical, genre, domain information etc.
- Quranic Arabic Treebank- entire Quran (beautifully) treebanked in dependency grammar.
- UCLA’s Voice Project- recordings and corresponding text grids for languages with various types of voice quality.
Software
- Drawing trees: Treeform (WYSIWYG/drag-n-drop), phpSyntaxTree (easy bracket notation)
- Parsers: Minimalist Machine (parser for minimalist syntax), XLFG parser
- English Resource Grammar demo
- DELPH-IN parsers & grammars
- Semantics: The Lambda Calculator(fun! Play with predicate calculus derivations when you take Semantics 2!)
- Recruiting: Mechanical Turk guide (resources within)
LaTeX
- Wikibooks page is excellent with lots of snippets
- The classic Essex guide
- LSA page of LaTeX for linguistics
- Detexify- handwrite a symbol, get the LaTeX code! Handy for IPA!
- Dynamic OT Tableau generator
- UW Dissertation LaTeX template
- Brent’s LaTeX tutorials
