Has anyone heard more about the Linguistic Data Consortium that was
announced in Linguist Vol-2-367? This is the first we--or anyone we
talk to--has heard of it; and yet the deadline for membership application
is August 19. We understand that even LSA did not have prior knowledge
of this DARPA project. But perhaps we've been misinformed. Can someone
offer more background on this (apparently) important project?
What institutions are/intend to be Senior Members? Will there be a later
enrollment period? What linguists, if any, are consultants?
Thanks very much for the info.
