We released the first CORAAL Supplment over the weekend, recordings by Bengt Loman in 1966 in Washington DC. These were originally made available with the release of his book. The audio files come with time aligned textgrids/elan/txt files. #intonation oraal.uoregon.edu/coraal/supplem…

Today I finished editing 1mil POS tagged words for Corpus of Regional African American Language. I plan to celebrate tomorrow by staring at something other than TextEdit, preferably a large body of water. This project removed a large part of my soul for the last 4 years and I hope someone finds it useful.
