Here I will document the resources for Warlpiri.


Kinds of resources to investigate:

  • computational resources (spell checkers, orthography converters, speech recognition software),
  • dictionaries/phrasebooks/glossaries (multilingual and monolingual, online and paper),
  • grammatical descriptions (theoretical and pædagogical),
  • scientific works (papers, books, websites), and
  • corpora (any collection of authentic text, linguistically annotated or not)
