Key resources and assistance for research in Linguistics.

Corpora

Look through the tabs here to find selected corpora.

They are organized based on the geographical location of the language(s) within the corpus. If the corpus applies to a wide variety of places, or has multiple languages, it is in the worldwide tab. 

Many of the selected links come from Non-English, Parallel & Multilingual Corpora, originated by David Lee and now maintained by Martin Weisser.

Online Encyclopedias related to Linguistics

Articles chop up your topic into little, narrow questions. If you find 5 articles, each presenting a narrow study, it may be hard for you to see how they fit together and what question they are all trying to answer.

Encyclopedias can give you overviews of your topic and lead you to the important questions asked by researchers. Subject specific encyclopedias contain articles written by experts in their fields and should put your idea or question into a historical, research, or social context. They will also lead you to further references.
