Congratulations to @njaywilliams and team who received an ELDP grant to document Benggoi, a critically endangered language of Seram Island, Indonesia. Their project aims for initial documentation and community-driven materials! #LanguagePreservation#EndangeredLanguages
I came across a 12 hour video on YouTube that I’d like to transcribe and use for research. Does anyone know of an easily implementable automatic transcription tool that might work and is free? Is this something that exists yet, for an initial transcript? #emca
Following the reporting on this interaction, I feel tempted to transcribe and analyze the interaction. Anyone want to collaborate on a mini project?

@lelia_glass Thanks, Leila! Could you recommend a paper or two in the 'computational social science' realm that you think is good/representative? and yeah, language endangerment is part of the foundation, always on the agenda :)
In Spring 2024, I will teach a 'Language and Culture' course. There are many ways to teach such a course. If it were up to you, what topics/areas of research do you think *must* be included (I'm aiming for a course that both covers the foundations and feels up-to-date)?
@sandagersorense Sounds amazing! I had to withdraw my talk on ‘mm’ in Wa’ikhana bc of travel costs so I’d love to hear what comes of the panel and your paper!!
