LINGUISTICS MAJORS AT PANLEX THIS SUMMER

Linguistics majors Natalie Katz and Grace O’Hair-Sherman will spend the summer in Berkeley as interns at PanLex, a project whose goal is to help people express any lexical concept in any language. PanLex collaborates closely with the Rosetta Project; both are sponsored by the Long Now Foundation. As an intern, Natalie will get training in how PanLex’s lexical database is designed and populated, and will practice acquiring and/or interpreting lexical documentation as sources of data for the database. Grace will either be involved with the database or will help create a mobile interface. Congratulations to both!
