Here are some external resources that I have found useful in my linguistics career so far. Click on the website name to open the link in a new tab.
| Website | About |
|---|---|
| Lingbuzz | LingBuzz is an openly accessible repository of scholarly papers, discussions and other documents for linguistics. |
| Superlinguo | Superlinguo is a blog about language and linguistics by Lauren Gawne. |
| Lingthusiasm | A podcast that's enthusiastic about linguistics by Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne. Weird and deep conversations about the hidden language patterns that you didn't realize you were already making. |
| Of Languages and Numbers | Learn about counting systems and numbers in over 400 languages. [Note: I encourage you to contribute to this project if you can!] |
| Interactive IPA Chart | The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a set of symbols that linguists use to describe the sounds of spoken languages. This page lets you hear the sounds that the symbols represent. |
| WALS | The World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS) is a large database of structural (phonological, grammatical, lexical) properties of languages gathered from descriptive materials by a team of 55 authors. |
| MultiPic | The Multilingual Picture (MultiPic) databank is the result of an international collaborative project intended to provide the scientific community with a set of publicly available 750 drawings from common concrete concepts created by the same author, standardized for name agreement and visual complexity in several languages. [Note: I used MultiPic in my Numerals and Nouns artificial language learning experiment.] |
| Story-Builder | Story-Builder is a set of picture cards that can be used by linguists in the field to elicit natural language data pictorally without interference from the metalanguage. |
| W3 Schools | Enjoy free tutorials, covering all aspects of web development and programming. This includes, but is not limited to, tutorials on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. [Note: The examples are so clearly laid out and there's the opportunity to 'try it for yourself' in their on-page editor. A truly indispensable resource for me!] |
| RNID - Making your event deaf aware | This page details several ways to make your event deaf aware, so that your event is as inclusive as possible and all attendees can fully participate. |
| University of Warwick - Accessibility: A practical guide for teachers | This page explains how to create teaching content that is accessible to students e.g., who use screen readers, physical/motor disabilities, with dyslexia, deaf or hard of hearing, autistic, or have anxiety. It covers PowerPoint, Word, PDF, Moodle, video recordings and content delivery. [Note: This is not just useful for teachers! Anyone who is presenting information to an audience will benefit from this resource.] |
| Fundamentals of Data Visualization | This website is the complete author manuscript of the textbook of the same name by Claus O. Wilke. The book is meant as a guide to making visualizations that accurately reflect the data, tell a story, and look professional. |
