Cross-Linguistic Linked Data

The Cross-Linguistic Linked Data project is developing and curating interoperable data publication structures using Linked Data principles as integration mechanism for distributed resources. This philosophy allows for

  • small-scale efforts to publish individual databases like WALS (World Atlas of Language Structures) or WOLD (World Loanword Database), thereby preserving the brands established by these projects,
  • while at the same time facilitating a unified user experience across publications.

Within the project, this approach is applied to publishing lexical and grammatical databases already compiled at the MPI-EVA and elsewhere. This has led to a software framework which can be used to develop database journals, i.e. edited collections of databases submitted by linguists from around the world.

Martin Haspelmath

I am a comparative linguist who studies the diversity of the world’s grammatical and lexical systems and tries to understand what is universal about them. I am best known for coediting the World atlas of language structures (2005/2013), and as a co-founder of Language Science Press. I am also an honorary (adjunct) professor at Leipzig University.

Open Educational Resources zu “Grammatik im Wandel: Ist digitales Schreiben (wirklich) so anders?”

Unterstützt durch die Digital Fellowship Sachsen hat Naomi Truan ein Lehrkonzept entwickelt zum Thema Grammatik und Schule im digitalen Zeitalter: durch teilnehmende Beobachtung und forschungsorientiertes Lernen den eigenen Sprachgebrauch digitaler Kommunikation sowie Vermittlungsmöglichkeiten grammatischer Strukturen untersuchen. Die im Rahmen des Projekts entstanden Materialien sind als Open Educational Resources verfügbar.

As a linguist (pronouns: she/her), I am interested in topics at the intersection of language and society such as Twitter interactions, students’ language ideologies towards their own digital language use, multiethnolects in urban spaces, or person reference (that is, how do we talk to and about people?). I am also committed to Open Science and science communication, and blog regularly on academic writing and emotions and vulnerability in research and teaching. I also enjoy leading workshops on these topics.
