The Crosswise collection has been organized into eight levels of difficulty, according to the frequency of the words used. The division is based on the levels of frequency established through studies of COBUILD, the database behind the Collins English Dictionary. You will find eight different crosswords at each level, and you can solve the 64 crosswords in Crosswise in three different modes.

Linguistic Field Work Photo Pool:
The Linguistic Field Work Photo Group photo pool is now operational. Some photos have been posted, but more are needed. I hope that you will consider posting some of your pictures related to your field work.
Flickr is the most popular of the photographic websites used to store and organize digital pictures.
Flickr has not sent me ANY emails related to this project. I think you can participate without adding to the spam you receive.

Typological tools for field linguistics:
This website contains tools for use in field linguistics and language description. Most of the items on the website are questionnaires designed to assist in eliciting data in such a fashion that the data will be comparable across languages. The idea behind this website is that field linguistics should be typologically informed and that the results of field work should be of typological interest. The questionnaires and other tools presented here help the field linguist understand what questions might be of typological (and theoretical) interest and guide the linguist in both eliciting data and extracting information from naturalistic texts.
