The LINGUIST Multi-List Support Project

有超过220个关于语言和语言学的互联网讨论列表，其中大多数都包含对学术语言学家有价值的信息。然而，由于电子邮件列表的不稳定性和列表档案的不可获得性，语言研究人员无法获得这些材料中的大部分。LINGUIST List打算建立一个多列表存档，以可搜索的、网络可读的形式保存这些讨论信息。该档案还将提供多列表订阅服务和消息发布功能。此外，在存档列表上张贴的每个超链接将被自动提取并添加到可搜索的数据库中。因此，语言学家个人将只需要访问一个单独的、可自由访问的网站，从多个列表中检索信息，加入多个讨论，并搜索与语言学研究相关的全面而集中的超链接集合。

9975299ARISTAR-DRYThere are over 220 Internet discussion lists devoted to language and linguistics, most of them carrying information valuable to academic linguists. However, much of this material is inaccessible to linguistic researchers, because of the instability of email lists and the unavailability of list archives. The LINGUIST List intends to establish a multi-list archive to preserve these discussion messages in searchable, web-readable form. The archive will also offer multi-list subscription services and message-posting capabilities. Furthermore, every hyperlink posted on an archived list will be automatically extracted and added to a searchable database. Thus the individual linguist will need to visit only a single, freely accessible site to retrieve information from multiple lists, join multiple discussions, and search a comprehensive but focused collection of hyperlinks relevant to linguistic research.
