Online workshop on the TerraLing database 

Date: 18-Sep-2020 - 19-Sep-2020 
Location: Online event, Austria 
Contact: Nina Haslinger 
Contact Email: nina.haslinger at uni-goettingen.de 
Meeting URL: https://linguistics.ucla.edu/person/hilda-koopman/#TerralingOnlineWorkshop 

Linguistic Field(s): Semantics; Syntax; Typology 

Meeting Description: 

This two-day online mini-workshop aims to get researchers interested in the
Terraling database, to familiarize them with the technology (so that they can
carry out their own projects), and to pave the road for future projects making
use of the database, thus also supporting further international community
building.

The Terraling database (http://terraling.com/) is a collaborative research
tool for theoretically guided cross-linguistic research: It is an open-access,
open-ended database where linguists can both pose data questions to others and
answer such questions for their native languages.

The workshop will involve introductions to different aspects of the database,
a `hands-on’ trial session for participants, short presentations of projects
that have been carried out via the database and a discussion (including all
participants) of potential future research projects building on the database.
(See below for the full program.)

To register for the workshop, please fill out the following form:
https://forms.gle/p5mGFm6ik4NWK3yE8. We will send you the zoom link right
before the workshop starts.

As the workshop will involve all participants trying the database, we ask you
to sign up to the database beforehand (in case you don’t have an account yet).
If you have registered in the past, but have not accessed the site recently,
please go online and reset your password. Note that both https://terraling.com
(the new address) and https://test.terraling.com (the old address) reflect and
update the same data.
 

Program: 

All times are given in Central European Summer Time, which will mean, e.g., -6
hours for New York City/East Coast, -9 hours for Los Angeles/West Coast …
