The Open Handbook of Linguistic Data Management
A guide to principles and methods for the management, archiving, sharing, and citing of linguistic research data, especially digital data. "Doing language science" depends on collecting, transcribing, annotating, analyzing, storing, and sharing linguistic research data. This volume offers a guide to linguistic data management, engaging with current trends toward the transformation of linguistics into a more data-driven and reproducible scientific endeavor. It offers both principles and methods, presenting the conceptual foundations of linguistic data management and a series of case studies, each of which demonstrates a concrete application of abstract principles in a current practice. In par...

The Blueprint
Celebrated journalist Erin Caselli's uncompromising assault against injustice had made her a star. When the assignment came to interview American hero, Steven Shaw, Caselli relished the opportunity to separate the myth from the man. Little did she know she was about to take a roller-coaster ride through the bright lights and dark recesses of a planet in turmoil. The drama sweeps across continents to take you into the world of the Russian mafia, drug cartels and corporate halls of power and politics. The characters you will come to love or loathe are as original as the story that delivers them with Technicolor ferocity. The issues Steve Sullivan presents with a master-storyteller's artistry will have you thinking late into the night.
Telegraph Hill
In Telegraph Hill, private detective Ray Infantino searches for a missing girl named Tania. The case takes him to San Francisco, the city he abandoned years ago after his fiance was murdered. Thrust into his old city haunts, Ray finds that Tania may not be lost at all. Tania saw a murder; and a criminal gang, the Black Fist Triad, wants to make sure she never sees anything again.
The Unicode cookbook for linguists
This text is a practical guide for linguists, and programmers, who work with data in multilingual computational environments. We introduce the basic concepts needed to understand how writing systems and character encodings function, and how they work together at the intersection between the Unicode Standard and the International Phonetic Alphabet. Although these standards are often met with frustration by users, they nevertheless provide language researchers and programmers with a consistent computational architecture needed to process, publish and analyze lexical data from the world's languages. Thus we bring to light common, but not always transparent, pitfalls which researchers face when ...

The Black Ballad
Where do the dead go when they rest? The poetic mystery of death has long been a fascination for the living. The images of warm hearths and a familial embrace are conjured for some, while others picture screaming in eternal torment at the hands of a demon. And yet, clerics have the power to pluck the dead back from that plane, thrusting them back into their mortal coils or even raising them into a state of eternal Undeath. Surely the gods would grow weary of their clerics pinching souls that rightfully belonged in their afterlife. Wouldn’t they? A partnership forged in fire and blood between musicians, artists, writers, editors, and more currently rests in your hands. The Black Ballad is a 10-chapter roleplaying campaign made alongside DiAmorte’s second album, a savage metal opera of cosmic proportions. This saga will let players decide the fate of the afterlife itself while immersing themselves in musical works focusing on loss, acceptance, and determination in the face of one’s own death. Will your campaign have the gall to challenge the will of divinity?
Unlocking “The Favor of God” Upon Your Life
I have presented a sound Scriptural foundation and teaching, in regards to how you will truly and spiritually obtain The Favor of God upon your life. Therefore, the sole purpose of this book is as follows: (1) to properly examine Scripture; (2) to correctly interpret the misunderstood and misused principle of what the general Christian community refers to as The Favor of God; and (3) address the issue of how false teaching regarding this subject matter may unfortunately mislead fellow Christians or other religious individuals down the wrong path of righteous living and disobedience unto God. As an Oneness Christian Teacher, Theologian, and Apologist, I would like to mention the fundamental B...
Sustainable Data from Digital Fieldwork
This collection of refereed papers from the conference of the same name held at the University of Sydney in December 2006 provides a record of recent research practice by fieldworkers in linguistics, botany and anthropology, and by archive and repository managers.
Language Documentation
Language documentation, also often called documentary linguistics, is a relatively new subfield in linguistics which has emerged in part as a response to the pressing need for collecting, describing, and archiving material on the increasing number of endangered languages. The present book details the most recent developments in this rapidly developing field with papers written by linguists primarily based in academic institutions in North America, although many conduct their fieldwork elsewhere. The articles in this volume — position papers and case studies — focus on some of the most critical issues in the field. These include (1) the nature of contributions to linguistic theory and method provided by documentary linguistics, including the content appropriate for documentation; (2) the impact and demands of technology in documentation; (3) matters of practice in collaborations among linguists and communities, and in the necessary training of students and community members to conduct documentation activities; and (4) the ethical issues involved in documentary linguistics.
