Syntactic Structures of the World's Languages
A new free online resource for linguists: Syntactic Structures of the World's Languages. I haven't had time to play around with it, but the list of contributors is impressive.Money quote:
SSWL is a searchable database that allows users to discover which properties (morphological, syntactic, and semantic) characterize a language, as well as how these properties relate across languages. This system is designed to be free to the public and open-ended. Anyone can use the database to perform queries.
Emphasis added (yes, that's for you LDC, haha).
