LING 211 (CILLDI) resources

On this page, I include some resources used in the CILLDI course, LING 211: Phonetics.

IPA

Software

  • Audacity - audio recording and editing (free to download; works on Mac, Windows, and Linux)

  • ELAN - linguistic annotation (free to download; works on Mac, Windows, and Linux)

  • Google Sites (demo Nakoda page with sound files).

  • LibreOffice - office software (free alternatives to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc; works on Mac, Windows, and Linux)

  • Praat - phonetic analysis (free to download; works on Mac, Windows, and Linux)

  • Quizlet - online flash cards for learning (linguistics, language vocabulary, etc) with exercises and progress tracking

  • Zamzar - online file conversion tool (For example, when you have a recording from your phone that Audacity can't read, use this to convert it to WAV.)

Resources for particular languages

(There are many more resources out there. Please send me suggestions for links to add!)

    • Online keyboard (to copy and paste into your projects):

      • Syllabics: http://www.syllabics.net/ (pick the language you want - it can convert letters to syllabics - eg, "hay hay" to "ᐦᐊᐩ ᐦᐊᐩ") - good for Cree (Plains, Swampy, Woodland, etc), Inuktitut, and others

    • Dene / Tłı̨chǫ: http://denefont.com/utilities/web-key/

Other resources

    • Language Geek - where you can find fonts and keyboard software

    • Glottopedia - a Wikipedia-like resource just for linguistics
