Language resources are the collective materials used by those engaged in language-related education, research and technology development. Spanning data collections, corpora, software, research papers and specifications, these vital tools aid and inspire scientific progress.
The Data [1] pages represent the heart of LDC's mission to make language resources available to the broad community. Obtaining Data [2] describes how to license data from LDC's growing online Catalog [3]. LDC members have full access to this database; guest accounts are also available for nonmembers. Students pursuing studies in the field can submit an application to the semi-annual Data Scholarships [4] program.
LDC's Tools [5] pages highlight software developed and distributed by LDC. All tools are available at no cost under an open source license. License details may vary.
The Papers [6] page contains publications by LDC staff about their work and issues of interest in the field and includes papers and slides presented at conferences, journal publications and books.
