| This is not an official institute s project with a single major theme, but rather a selection of smaller projects, mostly financed by 3rd-party funds, which are (i) focussed on the documentation of endangered or under-described languages on the one hand, or (ii) the exploitation of this kind of data for linguistic theory and analysis on the other hand. These projects thus contribute to the infrastructure for the language sciences, and illustrate some of the uses to which it can be put. |
