LDC Submissions: a new platform for sharing data through LDC 
LDC is pleased to announce the launch of LDC Submissions, a platform that
provides infrastructure and resources for sharing data through the Catalog.
After registering for a user account, corpus submitters can create a
submission, upload files, and communicate with LDC’s publications team during
the review process. After all reviews are complete, the final, release-ready
version of your data set is uploaded to the platform and enters the
publications queue. 

Sharing your corpus through LDC ensures access to the global research
community and the permanent preservation of your data according to best
practices for archiving digital language resources. Get started and register
for an LDC Submissions user account today.

Fall 2021 LDC Data Scholarship Program 
Student applications for the Fall 2021 LDC Data Scholarship program are being
accepted now through September 15, 2021. This program provides eligible
students with no-cost access to LDC data. Students must complete an
application consisting of a data use proposal and letter of support from their
advisor.

New publications:
(1) Ethnobotanical Research and Language Documentation of Nahuatl consists of
approximately 190 hours of field recordings collected in the Sierra
Nororiental and Sierra Norte regions of Puebla, Mexico. The corpus contains
audio and video recordings of native Nahuatl speakers during the collection of
particular plants; partial transcripts (Nahuatl and Spanish); a Highland
Puebla Nahuat dictionary; botanical and ethnobotanical data; and speaker
metadata.

Ethnobotanical Research and Language Documentation of Nahuatl is distributed
via web download.

University and Nanjing Normal University and is comprised of semantic
representations of a set of approximately 20,000 Chinese sentences from

discourse context. BOLT co-reference annotation was performed on BOLT treebank
annotation. It covers noun phrases (including proper nouns, nominals, pronouns
and null arguments), possessives, proper noun pre-modifiers, and verbs.
