<div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#000000">The project is
concerned with the creation of a web-based educational and research
resource in linguistics, documenting the structures of the European
dialects of the Romani language and their geographical distribution.
Much of the data have already been archived; additional data
elicitation and archiving will take place during the lifetime of the
project, mainly in central and eastern Europe. The web resource will
involve the creation of a database and of a web-based user interface.
The latter will allow queries into the database and the display of
data in various formats, including the distribution of symbols on a
map showing the locations of dialects. Tone documentation (sound
files) will also be included. The project is coordinated by Professor
Yaron Matras at the School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures. The
project team will include a Data Administrator and several
postgraduate student assistants. Close collaboration is envisaged with
several other research projects in linguistics.</font></div>
