Description:
The LINGUIST List invites undergraduate and graduate students as well as
particularly motivated senior high school students to the 2017 summer
internship program.

Interns at LINGUIST List have the opportunity to participate in the daily
operations of the LINGUIST List, including editing submissions to the LINGUIST
List and correspondence with linguists.

Apart from that interns will have the opportunity to work under the
supervision of local or visiting faculty at The LINGUIST List on concrete
research projects related to language and STEM sub-disciplines, language
documentation, as well as engineering of software solutions and algorithms,
mathematical concepts and methods, and technologies related to speech and
language data.

Depending on individual interests or skills interns can get involved in the
following LINGUIST List related projects for a certain proportion of their
work time:
- GeoLing: A web-application that maps LINGUIST List events, institutions,
resources on a GIS system (see http://geoling.linguistlist.org/) for mobile
devices and access
- Voice interface: Development of dialogs and speech interfaces for use with
Amazon Echo/Alexa, Google Home, Cortana, etc. to provide LINGUIST List
information over these voice systems/interfaces, develop new linguistic
"skills" and extend existing ones
- Improvement of the new LINGUIST List website and content, applications like
Ask-a-Ling, and new services and applications

Interns will get an opportunity to also work with:
- LL-MAP (http://llmap.org)
- MultiTree (http://multitree.org)
- GORILLA (http://gorilla.linguistlist.org)
- General Ontology for Linguistic Description (GOLD)
(http://linguistics-ontology.org/) or the Lexical Enhancement via the GOLD
Ontology (LEGO) (http://lego.linguistlist.org/)
- The DAPS (Detecting Anomalous Parse Structures) project
- Marathi Phonation-Type Contrast Typology and Resourcing
