Dear colleagues,

We are organizing a Paralex (www.paralex-standard.org) datathon on 
inflectional morphology, co-located with the Journées LIFT 2 2026 
(https://gdr-lift.loria.fr/journees-scientifiques/), on the 18th of 
November 2026.

Please find the announcement below. Could you forward it to interested 
students?

Best,

Jules Bouton & Sacha Beniamine

*Content:*

This datathon aims to guide participants through the creation of 
high-quality, FAIR morphological data. Participants will create Paralex 
datasets, machine-readable collections of inflectional paradigms. These 
collections are of benefit to people working on descriptions of 
individual languages, language typologists, theorists and quantitative 
linguists.

Participants are expected to bring morphological data they are 
interested in, be it content from a grammar, their own fieldwork 
collection, other datasets, etc.

See: www.paralex-standard.org
