Weeks 2: FLEx 2 will meet 25 - 28 June 2012

Meeting Location: 455 Watson Library

FieldWorks Language Explorer (FLEx) is a linguistic database for lexicographical and text data collection and analysis. In this workshop, we will cover entering texts, adding words to a lexicon directly and by means of glossing text, adding additional information to lexicon entries, linking audio or picture files to words or sentences, sorting/filtering/bulk editing entries, printing out interlinear text, exporting a dictionary for printing via collateral tools such as LexiquePro or Pathway. We will briefly discuss import from Toolbox data, collaborating with other users of FLEx or WeSay by means of LIFT, and collecting words according to a semantic domain template. Before the first class (for both FLEx classes), participants should download and install FieldWorks 7.2.4. No other software is needed for this class. Sample data sets and handouts with links to other useful software will be provided.
