Projects

I develop open-source tools for linguistic research, primarily in Python. My software focuses on data management, analysis, transformation, and visualization, usually related to languages. Check my GitHub profile for more.

Major Projects

• TITUS 2.0 - Next generation of the TITUS database for historical linguistics and ancient Indo-European languages
• Swiss German corpus search filter map - Spatially modelling dialect areas used in the Idiotikon and integrating them into an interactive search map
• CDTD (Comparative Dictionary of Tibetan Dialects) - Salvaging legacy HyperCard data and preparing publication of the second volume

Cariban Language Projects

My work with Cariban languages spans documentation, analysis, and the development of digital resources:

• Comparative Cariban Database - A collection of linguistic data on Cariban languages (companion app to my dissertation), structured as a CLDF dataset and served through a CLLD web application (Source Code)
• A digital sketch grammar of Yawarana - Digital grammar of Yawarana, a Cariban language spoken in Venezuela
• Yawarana Corpus (CLDF) - Structured corpus dataset
• Morphological parser for Yawarana - Computational morphological analysis tools

Open-Source Linguistic Tools

Document Preparation

• lingdocs - Write data-rich linguistics documents with integrated CLDF dataset support and multiple output formats
• expex-acro - LaTeX package for glossing abbreviations and linguistic markup

Corpus Management & Analysis

• cldf-ldd - Component collection for linguistic descriptive data in CLDF
• pyradigms - Compose and decompose linguistic paradigms (essentially pivot tables for linguistics)

Data Conversion & Integration

• unboxer - Extract data from Shoebox and Toolbox to CLDF-ready formats
• cldflex - Convert FLEx data to CLDF-ready formats

Visualization & Mapping

• lingtreemaps - Plot linguistic data simultaneously on phylogenetic trees and geographic maps

Utilities

• humidifier - Create human-friendly IDs from strings
• biblatex2bibtex - Convert BibLaTeX files to BibTeX format
