The LINGUIST List has added a new service to its set of web applications: GeoLing
GeoLing allows you to submit announcements of local linguistic events. See for details the HOWTO page of GeoLing.
It also allows you to view all active conference, job, and summer school announcements that are submitted to LINGUIST List on a global map.
In addition to these exciting new functionalities, GeoLing also displays on a global map all linguistic institutions, programs, organizations, even office addresses that were submitted to LINGUIST List.
GeoLing can link to your institutional online calendar and read all local events from it automatically so that you do not have to update the events on GeoLing manually. GeoLing also understands emails with attached addresses in the vCards format, iCalendar or vCal event data submitted to it via email from your favorite contact management software or app, or your PIM or organizer. You will find more details on the HOWTO pages of GeoLing.
LINGUIST List can host online calendars for your institution and link them to GeoLing. Please let us know, if you are interested in this service.
The interface will allow you in the next version to display selected events. For example, you should be able to display all events that are related to “Optimality Theory”, or to “Syntax” of “Slavic languages”. You should be able to find all “theoretical syntax” jobs, or jobs related to “Natural Language Processing”, “Speech Recognition”, “Pragmatics”, “Translation”. There is a limited search facility implemented already. We are working on more improvements.
The displayed information about the events will allow you soon to “add the event to my calendar” or “add the address to my address book” on mobile devices like tablets or smart phones. We are working on that.
We hope you like this new service.
Your LINGUIST List Team
