E-resource of the Month: Linguistic Minorities in Europe Online
The new peer-reviewed online reference Linguistic Minorities in Europe Online (LME) provides comprehensive documentation of indigenous and immigrant linguistic minorities in Europe.
LME contains a variety of content and materials:
- Standardized overview articles on a given linguistic minority on a variety of topics, including but not limited to linguistic description, variation, attitudes, demographics, status, education and revitalization.
- In-depth research articles on specific topics regarding European minority languages/linguistic minorities, including sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and ethnolinguistic perspectives
- Multimedia elements (audios, videos, images)
- Primary sources, such as annotated texts, transcriptions, corpora, glossaries, field notes, etc. (Open Access as well as non-Open Access)
All articles in LME are enriched with metadata, allowing specific searches and filter options. The content is heavily interlinked, so as to enable users to quickly switch between overview articles, in-depth research articles, and primary sources. Furthermore, LME articles link out to selected external online resources.
