Linguist List Issue: IPA Trainer now available online

daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca thought you might be interested in this item from the LINGUIST List ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca says ... Please pass this on to others. It looks like a fantastic resource. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message1: IPA Trainer now available online Date:10-Feb-2009 From:Rasmus Rimestad rasmusrim(a)gmail.com LINGUIST List issue http://linguistlist.org/issues/20/20-429.html I have programmed the first version of a tool I call IPA Trainer. It is a tool supposed to help students learn the IPA characters. I believe and have experienced that it is very helpful. Any lecturer can register, and then customise an IPA consonants chart containing only the IPA characters that are relevant to his/her students and in the order he/she teaches them. A link can then be distributed to the students, and they can go practice these characters. I believe you will also find this interesting, and I would be happy if you would add a link to it on your site. Any feedback/bugs are also very welcome. The system is in English. The system can be found at: http://www.ipatrainer.com An introduction page for lecturers can be found at: http://www.ipatrainer.com/user/site/index.php?pageID=for_lecturers A manual can be downloaded from: http://www.ipatrainer.com/data/pdf/manual_en.pdf I really hope the system can be of use!

by Dan O'Donnell 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

With apologies for cross posting. Dear all, The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) at the University of Oxford, and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) are currently involved in a study of the impact of digital resources in the Humanities. Contribute your feedback on how you are using digital resources by following this link: http://survey.oii.ox.ac.uk/Collector/Survey.ashx?Name=Use_of_Digital_Resour… This survey takes most participants under 20 minutes to complete. Your feedback will only reach OII/JISC if you reach the end of the survey and click 'submit'. The statistical results will be publicly reported, but all information provided by individuals will be anonymized and not tied to any individual. If you would like the results of the survey e-mailed to you, there will be an opportunity at the end of the survey to provide an e-mail address for this purpose. For more on this project: http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/research/project.cfm?id=51 Many thanks! _____________________ Christine McCarthy Madsen Oxford Internet Institute 1 St. Giles :: Oxford OX1 3JS christine.madsen(a)oii.ox.ac.uk <mailto:christine.madsen@oii.ox.ac.uk>

Proposals may deal with all aspect of computer storage and processing of ancient languages, as for instance: automated morphological or syntactic analysis of ancient languages; text corpora (creation of a corpus, searches systems, etc.); dictionaries; encoding of ancient languages (scripting system, text representation, unicode and ISO 10646, etc.); XML, TEI and ancient languages (use of XML to model ancient documents, corpus representation, DTD or schemas for dictionaries) ; text capture, OCR and ancient texts, links between pictures corpora and structured representations; NLP as a tool for the philologist (practical uses of NLP in the context of philological or grammatical research). uses of NLP in teaching ancient languages. diachronic studies (models for language change, diachronic databases, etc.) The Journal TAL (Traitement Automatique des Langues / Natural Language Processing) is a forty year old international journal published by ATALA (French Association for Natural Language Processing) with the support of CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research). It has moved to an electronic mode of publication, with printing on demand - see http://atala.org/-Revue-TAL-. This affects in no way its reviewing and selection process. Practical issues Contributions (25 pages maximum, PDF format) must be sent by e-mail to the following address: (rosmord _at_ iut dot univ-paris8 dot fr) Style sheets are available for download on the Web site of the journal: http://atala.org/English-style-files. Language: manuscripts may be submitted in English or French. French-speaking authors are requested to submit in French. Important dates 27/02/2009 Deadline for submission. 31/04/2009 Notification to authors. 03/06/2009 Deadline for submission of a revised version. 03/07/2009 Final decision.

Open Office and Word
by Dan O'Donnell 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hi all, I just heard news that shook my lack of faith in mankind. Does anybody know if it is true that Word reads Open Office files? I'm fully linux, and so don't have access to word anywhere. For years I've been dutifully converting my OO files to .doc format for exchange. But if you can open OO files in word natively, I'll start educating word users of this fact and send the native .odt format. -dan

Digital Classicist Work-in-Progress Seminars (London, 2009) Call for Presentations The Digital Classicist will once more be running a series of Work-in-Progress seminars in Summer 2009, on the subject of research into the ancient world that has an innovative digital component. We are especially interested in work that involves equal collaboration with a computer scientist or that would be considered serious research in the Computing field as well as Classics, Archaeology, and/or Ancient History. The Work-in-Progress seminars run on Friday afternoons from June to August in Senate House, London, and are sponsored by the Institute for Classical Studies (UofL), the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (KCL), the Centre for e-Research (KCL), and the British Library. In previous years collected papers from the DC WiP seminars have been published in a special issue of an online journal (2006), edited as a printed volume (2007), and released as audio podcasts (2008); we anticipate similar publication opportunities for future series. Please send a 300-500 word abstract to gabriel.bodard(a)kcl.ac.uk by March 31st 2009. We shall announce the full programme in April.
