  • LSA Summer Linguistic Institute -- a great way to learn from the leading scholars in linguistics

  • Lexicon of Linguistics -- a searchable database of linguistics terminology and definitions

Resources for Phonetics and Phonology

• • Online IPA Character Picker -- point and click character/diacritic selection, then copy and paste into your document

  • IPA Character Map for Windows -- an on-screen keyboard like the above, but downloadable

  • Phonetic Keyboard for Windows -- temporarily switch your keyboard to IPA input mode

  • By default, the keyboard is installed for the language "English (United Kingdom)", but you can remove the extra language in the Control Panel, and add the keyboard to "English (United States)". Then, simply press CTRL+SHIFT to change keyboards. The on-screen keyboard (in Accessories) will also change along with your physical keyboard, largely duplicating the functionality of the above online and downloadable keyboards.

Resources for Syntax

• Kenneth's Computer Tree Drawing Tutorial

  • phpSyntaxTree -- simple online tree drawer (converts bracketed trees to images)

  • TreeForm -- graphical tree drawing program (free and open-source)

  • Trees 3 -- graphical tree drawing program (paid, but can download for free from an MSU internet connection)

Miscellaneous

• Omniglot -- All about writing systems of the world.

• Old English Dictionary -- If you are interested in etymology, this is a fun place to poke around.
