The LINGUIST List will be on holiday recess from Monday, December 17, 2018 until Thursday, January 3, 2019. During this time, with the exception of emergencies, issues might be posted on an irregular basis. Although the website is available, some pages may not be updated during that time. Except for emergencies, we cannot promise to process submissions that we receive after December 17 in a timely manner until after we return on January 3, 2019.
MultiTree
MultiTree, a three-year project, is creating a digital library of scholarly hypotheses about language relationships and subgroupings. This information is being organized in a searchable database with a web interface, and each hypothesis is presented graphically as an interactive hyperbolic display of a family tree, accompanied by information on all of the languages involved and the authors and bibliographical sources of the hypothesis.
MultiTree will interact with the LL-MAP Project, a geolinguistic database which will provide users a fully functional Geographical Information System (GIS) through which linguistic data--including subgrouping information--can be viewed in its geographical context. Both these databases will be integrated with other existing LINGUIST List databases, providing access to a wealth of information on related books, articles, dissertations, and conferences. MultiTree is funded by a National Science Foundation grant (BCS 04040000).

While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents. |
