Title: Online Database of Interlinear Text
Body: From http://www.csufresno.edu/odin ODIN, the Online Database of Interlinear text, is a repository of Interlinear Glossed Text (IGT) extracted mainly from scholarly linguistic papers. The repository is both broad-coverage, in that it contains data for a variety of the world's languages (limited only by what data is available and what has been discovered), and rich, in that all data contained in the repository has been subject to linguistic analysis. IGT is a standard method within the field of linguistics for presenting language data, with (1) being a typical example. Common in IGT is a phonetic transcription of the language in question (line 1), a morphosyntactic analysis which includes a morpheme-by-morpheme gloss and grammatical information of varying sorts and granularity (line 2), and a free-translation (line 3). (1) apiya=ya=at QATAMMA=pat tapar-ta at that time=CONJ=3SG.N in the same way rule-PAST "And at the same time he ruled it in the very same manner." (Agbayani & Golston 2004) Currently, ODIN gives pointers to scholarly papers on the Web that contain instances of IGT. ODIN is accessible at http://www.csufresno.edu/odin .

Title: Book: Sustaining Linguistic Diversity
Body: From http://press.georgetown.edu/detail.html?id=9781589011922 Sustaining Linguistic Diversity: Endangered and Minority Languages and Language Varieties Edited by Kendall A. King, Natalie Schilling-Estes, Lyn Fogle, Jia Jackie Lou, and Barbara Soukup Publisher: Georgetown University Press Summary: The book begins by grappling with how we define endangerment— how languages and language varieties are best classified, what the implications of such classifications are, and who should have the final say in making them. The contributors then turn to the documentation and description of endangered languages and focus on best practices, methods and goals in documentation, and on current field reports from around the globe. The latter part of the book analyzes current practices in developing endangered languages and dialects and particular language revitalization efforts and outcomes in specific locations. Concluding with critical calls from leading researchers in the field to consider the human lives at stake, Sustaining Linguistic Diversity reminds scholars, researchers, practitioners, and educators that linguistic diversity can only be sustained in a world where diversity in all its forms is valued.
