[Lingtyp] Assessing Interest in a Frog Story Database

[Alexander Rice]

Hi John

I'm actually working on something that dovetails with your project. I
collected Frog Story narratives from 6 speakers an Amazonian language a
couple years ago and I'm about halfway through getting them
transcribed/translated/glossed. I'd be happy to contribute when they're
ready (and given the permission of the consultants, which is likely).

You might also want to keep an eye on this upcoming workshop at SLE this
year:

There may some submissions using Frog Story data.

Keep in touch,

--Alex
