Research Projects:
The World Atlas of Language Structures - WALS
In 2005, the World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS) was published as a book and CD-ROM. Based on a core sample of 200 languages, WALS documents the geographical distribution of approximately 120 structural features in the world’s languages. WALS for the first time permits the rapid assessment of the areal spread of a wide range of linguistic features. [more]
Intercontinental Dictionary Series (IDS)
The Intercontinental Dictionary Series (IDS), a long-term cooperative project, involves linguists all over the world, and aims at preserving information on little-known languages. To this end, a database will be established, where lexical material across the continents is organized in such a way that comparisons can be made. Historical studies, comparative, and theoretical linguistic research can then be based on this documentation. [more]
Infrastructure for Wordlists
Wordlists are used in various projects at our institute. This project provides the infrastructure for the organization, storage, and retrieval of all these wordlists. [more]
