摘要：In this paper we present Kratylos, at www.kratylos.org/, a web application thatcreates searchable multimedia corpora from data collections in diverse formats,including collections of interlinearized glossed text (IGT) and dictionaries. Thereexists a crucial lacuna in the electronic ecology that supports language documentationand linguistic research. Vast amounts of IGT are produced in stand-aloneprograms without an easy way to share them publicly as dynamic databases. Solvingthis problem will not only unlock an enormous amount of linguistic informationthat can be shared easily across the web, it will also improve accountabilityby allowing us to verify analyses across collections of primary data. We arguefor a two-pronged approach to sharing language documentation, which involvesa popular interface and a specialist interface. Finally, we briefly introduce thepotential of regular expression queries for syntactic research.
