Established in 2006 as a research unit within the College of Arts and
Sciences, the Institute for Language Information and Technology (ILIT)
is dedicated to developing digital infrastructure to support the
creation and archiving of language resources, including the
documentation of endangered languages. Current ILIT projects include
LL-MAP, a Geographical Information System (GIS) designed to integrate
language information with data from the physical and social sciences;
MultiTree, a digital library of scholarly hypotheses about language
relationships and subgroupings; DATA, a collaborative effort with the
Alaska Native Language Center to digitize Dena'ina language legacy
materials and provide community access; and GOLDComm, an initiative to
enhance the General Ontology for Language Description (GOLD) and
increase the amount of language data available for digital search and
analysis.

As the world's largest online linguistics resource, The LINGUIST List is dedicated to disseminating information on languages
and language analysis, and to providing the discipline of linguistics with the infrastructure necessary to function in the digital
world. LINGUIST maintains a web-site with over 2000 pages and runs a mailing list with more than 25,000 subscribers worldwide.
LINGUIST also hosts searchable archives of more than 130 other linguistic mailing lists. LINGUIST is a free resource, run by
linguistics professors and graduate students, and supported largely by donations.

The longer-term goal is to document and describe the languages of the Southern Chaco region and to investigate them typologically and historically. Dr. Verónica Grondona is the principal researcher. (With Dr. Lyle Campbell, U. of Utah, and Dr. Filomena Sandalo, UNICAMP, Brazil.)
