Resources for the Department MembersComputer RoomThe Computer Room is located in Moore Hall. It is for the use of students of the Linguistics Department. The computer room contains two Macintosh computers, four PC's - three with Windows 2000 OS and one with both Linux and Windows 2000, and two laser printers. Students need to supply their own paper for the laser printers or purchase paper at a cost of 2 cents per sheet printed.The Computer Room is open on normal working days from around 8:00 am to approximately 4:30 pm. Outside of those hours, students may still use the computer room, but must sign the computer room monitor's sheet and agree to take responsibility for monitoring the room. Anyone signed up to monitor the computer room must not leave until either closing and properly locking the room, or getting another linguistics student to sign the monitor's sheet and agree to take responsibility for the room. Linguistics students may sign out a key to the computer room, if they wish to use the room on weekends or after hours. See the department secretaries in Moore Hall 569. Note that anyone using the computer room on weekends or after hours must sign the computer room monitor's sheet and take responsibility for closing and properly locking the room. Please remember to return the key to the department secretaries as soon as possible. Please contact the Computer Room Graduate Assistant, Jun Nomura, nomurajjp at yahoo.co.jp (please replace 'at' by the '@' sign), or Professor Ben Bergen, bergen at hawaii.edu, with any questions. The LAE LabsThe Language Analysis and Experimentation Labs are a research and teaching facility dedicated to human language and the cognitive mechanisms responsible for it. The LAE Labs house research on the articulation, acoustics, and perception of speech, the production and recognition of words, and the processing of sentences and discourse. Tools used by faculty and student researchers in these labs include audio and video recording hardware, acoustic analysis software, articulatory measurement devices, eye-tracking equipment, large language corpora, tools for building computational models of linguistic and cognitive behavior, and experiment design and analysis software. For more information, please visit the LAE Labs homepage, or contact Prof. Anderson, Prof. Schafer or Prof. Bergen.Linguistics-SLS Reading RoomThe Linguistics-SLS Reading Room is located in Moore Hall 572. It is for the use of all students and faculty in the departments of Linguistics and Second Language Studies, and contains reference materials, journals, and class reserve materials. Users are asked to sign in, and to leave backpacks and bags by the door, with the monitor. The reading room is staffed by volunteer student monitors from the Linguistics and SLS departments, and thus hours depend on the availability of volunteers. Reading room hours and monitors for the Fall 2001 have been set. Check the Reading Room Resources here: Reading Room Resources For more information, please contact the Reading Room monitors, at ling-sls-rr@hawaii.edu. Friends of the Linguistics-SLS Reading Room (FLERR)There is a copy machine for the use of Linguistics and ESL students and faculty in the Reading Room, Moore Hall 572. Anyone wishing to use the copy machine must first purchase an account from FLERR (Friends of the Linguistics/ESL Reading Room). The FLERR representative for Linguistics is Tsz-him Tsiu (Him). Please contact him for information about purchasing an account. (And please remember that the FLERR representative is an unpaid graduate student volunteer.) Linguistic Society of Hawai‘i (LSH)The Linguistic Society of Hawai‘i (LSH) is the organization of linguistics students and faculty. Officers are elected each year. The LSH sponsors various social events, including a Halloween party and the Spring Ling Thing, participates in the organization of the Linguistics/SLS Joint Student Conference and the College of Languages, Linguistics, and Literature Student Conference, and conducts an annual bake sale and a book sale, among other activities. The 2005-2006 LSH officers are:
Linguistics Beyond the ClassroomThe department organizes a pool of undergraduate students who can participate in research projects as one means of fulfilling a requirement of Linguistics 101 and 102. For further information, please visit the Linguistics Beyond the Classroom webpages, or contact Professor Amy Schafer, aschafer at hawaii.edu (please replace 'at' by the '@' sign). Course evaluationsIn order to ensure anonymity of course evaluations, students may elect to type their course evaluations, rather than writing them by hand. Students wishing to type their evaluations must download the evaluation form. The evaluation form is a pdf document which can be read, modified, and printed using Adobe's free Acrobat Reader. Students should print out their evaluations and submit them with the rest of the class' evaluations. Open-Access Department ResoucesOceanic LinguisticsThe department has been responsible for the publication of the journal Oceanic Linguistics since its inception. Oceanic Linguistics is the only journal devoted exclusively to the study of the indigenous languages of the Oceanic area and parts of Southeast Asia. The languages within the scope of the journal, probably numbering over a thousand, are the aboriginal languages of Australia, the Papuan languages of New Guinea, and the languages of the Austronesian (or Malayo-Polynesian) family. Articles in Oceanic Linguistics cover issues of linguistic theory that pertain to languages of the area, report research on historical relations, or furnish new information about inadequately described languages.A table of contents and electronic versions of some articles are available through Project Muse, here. WordcorrWordcorr is a free program that was developed at the University of Hawaii in collaboration with the Summer Institute of Linguistics and DataHouse, Inc., a Honolulu software development house. The initial funding came from the Linguistics Program and the Information Technology Research Program of the National Science Foundation, with Joseph E. Grimes as Principal Investigator, assisted by Burgel Rosa Maria Faehndrich and Christine M. Hansen. The University of Hawaii is a research and training center for historical-comparative linguistics, specializing in languages of Asia and the Pacific. Its research capabilities have been enhanced by computational tools developed in the Department of Linguistics. The latest of these is Wordcorr.Austronesian Basic Vocabulary DatabaseThis database currently contains 52,319 lexical items from 282 Austronesian languages (including some protolanguages such as PAN and PMP). These items have been taken from the modified Swadesh lists collected by Bob Blust over the last 20 years. Additional material has been added from the Pollex database compiled by Bruce Biggs and Ross Clark.The site allows you to:
