Spoken word comes before literacy; yet is often the most ignored element; the site aims to provide an intriguing audio based platform that encourages the less fluent to engage, learn and connect with native speakers. It hopes to bridge the gap brought about by dominating languages and prevent languages from vanishing entirely whilst adding to a growing archive of spoken word. A short one minute video about the project available here http://www.vimeo.com/11649407 The website, still under development but can be found at Pangr.org If you would like more information, please contact me at infopangr.org Katy Chung infopangr.org Linguistic Field(s): Language Documentation; Phonetics Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 20-May-2010       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
