Welcome to TypeCraft

Just like you we are linguists and other professionals working on the documentation of language.

We use this site to share annotated language paradigms, and knowledge about languages, and language theory. We want TypeCraft because we want a simple electronic tool that helps us perform two of the most elementary linguistic tasks; the storage and the retrieval of natural language data. Accessibility of data is valuable for our own, and the research of others, while it is important for research groups to represent ongoing work 'already yesterday'. TypeCraft can help with these tasks.

Here the two modules of TypeCraft:

The TypeCraft natural language database features an annotation interface in tabular form

• it allows TypeCraft users to import written text.
• it features automatic sentence break-up and helps you prepare your text for text annotation
• it has drop-down-style reference lists, composed of widely used linguistic symbols for word and construction level annotation to facilitate the annotation process.

The TypeCraft wiki

The TypeCraft wiki is a TypeCraft-internal knowledge sharing tool, designed to allow exchange of information between users, individuals as well as projects, and an easy access to background information. Some of the important features are:

• safe-guarding of private data in several different work spaces.
• easy integration of database information into the wiki
• export of annotated natural language data to Microsoft Word and Latex as well as export of XML for further processing

TypeCraft is a tool under development. For the group developing TypeCraft About TypeCraft it is very important to get feed-back. Please help us for example by adding to the page Bug Reports and Design Suggestions. Link title
