Good morning doclings!

:question: Question: Do you know of any documentation which is available under a Creative Commons licence? I realize that’s not appropriate in many contexts, but maybe particular communities have decided it’s a good fit.

The reason I ask is that I was looking for some shareable data for a workshop we’re going to be doing here. Ideally there would be:

  • Time-aligned text of some kind with a transcript
  • Media, preferably video but audio is good too
  • Morphological glossing (Leipzig-ish)

There is of course a lot of out-of-copyright content on archive.org and such, but it’s often not digitized, orthographies are old, there’s no media, etc.

Wow, cool. You mean the corpus on AILLA?

ANLA uses a creative commons license. Much of what’s there is not time-aligned, but there is some.

Oh, I didn’t know that! I don’t suppose you recall anything time-aligned offhand?

Currently poking around in https://www.uaf.edu/anla/…

Also, whaaaaaat… https://www.uaf.edu/anla/record.php?identifier=KU923S1923c Is that Sapir’s voice??

Also, the speaker was John Fredson, aka Zhoh Gwatsan, “Wolf Smeller”, an interesting person:
