Linguistics, Natural Language, and Computational Linguistics Meta-index

A guide to the best linguistic resources on the web

The Linguist List web site

Edinburgh mirror, Melbourne mirror, or Tübingen mirror
The most comprehensive listing of sources of linguistic information, with a lot of their own content. Especially recommended for finding out about The Linguist List, the main world wide linguistics mailing list.

Linguistics Indexes on the Internet from SIL.

This site also hosts Ethnologue, a guide to the world's languages.

iLoveLanguages

Tons of links to all the world's languages, in a sexy professional presentation, with commercial sponsorship. This is what has become of the famous old "The Human-Languages Page" (né http://www.june29.com/HLP/), still by the same author, Tyler Chambers. Best listing of resources on individual languages. Weaker on linguistics, but expanding.

(Computational) Linguistics Resources/Institutions from the University of Stuttgart.

A good, mainly computational linguistics collection, regularly updated. Overseas retrieval times seem to be faster than they used to be, too.

Association for Computational Linguistics Wiki.

The most comprehensive listing of computational linguistics/natural language processing resources.

Shikano lab speech resources.

The most comprehensive list of (engineering approaches to) speech recognition/generation and acoustics.

Yahoo's Human Languages and Linguistics page

Very random and not maintained by a linguist. A lot of links, especially on languages, though. Note also that Linguistics has stopped being a humanity and has become a social science!

A Stanford Linguistics Portal

By Ivan Sag

Speech and Language Web resources (Kenji Kita, Tokushima U.)

Was a good, well organized list of computational linguistics, speech, CALL, etc. references. Hasn't been updated for a few years.

John Lawler's Language and Linguistics links

Somewhat random, but extensive, and has personality. But no longer being updated.

Linguistic theories and areas

Formal semantics: Kai von Fintel

Not quite as exciting as when it first appeared. No job gossip.

HPSG at Ohio State

(and at Stanford, HPSG Literature bibliography (Stefan Müller), a guide to implementing HPSG in ALE) and a project on ellipsis in HPSG,

LFG at Essex.

Online conference proceedings. Joan Bresnan hasn't kept up with her delightful Unofficial notes and links on LFG/OT.

Has papers on Optimality Theory.

Linguistics Conferences Lists

The Linguist List maintains a list of conferences, but the URL changes with the year, and it's not a very convenient summary to read. But almost everyone else seems to have given up maintaining lists by hand. I don't blame them.

Internet Grammar of English

Linguists see their job as describing how people use language and how people react to the use of language in a social context, rather than being judges of that. But here's a nice site on (American) English usage.
