LanguageARC (https://languagearc.com) is a citizen science web portal for
language research developed with the support of a grant from the National
Science Foundation (no. 1730377). LanguageARC brings together researchers and
the general public into a community dedicated to support and advance
language-related research and development. Contributors to this online
community can participate in a variety of language-related tasks and
activities to support linguistic research such as identifying accents from
audio clips, recording “tongue twisters” or picture descriptions and
translating English sentences into other languages. New projects will be added
on an ongoing basis. In the near future, researchers will be able to create
their own language projects on LanguageARC with an easy to use Project Builder
Toolkit. 

We encourage you to become an active participant in the LanguageARC community.
If you are a researcher interested in creating a project on Language ARC,
please reach out on the “Contact” page on the website or contact James Fiumara
at the Linguistic Data Consortium (jfiumara at ldc.upenn.edu).
