Source for digital grammars

Post by 2+3 clusivity »

This might have been an old topic, but does anyone know of a good source for natlang grammars (other than JSTOR, a college library, wikipedia, etc)?

Google Books. If it's old, you can usually download it for free.

Nothing too worrying.

There's also warez sites, namely, one specific warez site that I won't mention :3

Eh, I dunno, I have tried torrenting grammars but never managed to find many that way, except maybe for languages with a great deal of grammatical information already online.

This website: FSI Language Courses is free, and it's more geared towards learning the languages than just grammar overviews, but it's a good resource, and it's free, lots of diversity.

A while back, somebody........ ...uploaded a torrent with a bunch of grammars. It's possible that maybe if you remind them of it, some people......... ...might start seeding it again. Of course this is all speculation, rumor, and hearsay.

Sixteen gigabytes of language data isn't much?

You don't know how to look.

@KOMON: The site was downed some time ago, giving only admins and mods the right to go through it :3

Anyone have anything about Xinca and Lenca?

edit: Okay, I found something about Xinca(It is at the bottom in the wikilink). Coincidentally, it used almost the same construction as I have planned to use in the simple transitivity clause. LOL.
If I stop posting out of the blue it probably is because my computer and the board won't cooperate and let me log in.!

I've just been wondering, a while back, did somebody upload a torrent with a bunch of grammars? And Is it possible that if you remind them of it, some people might start seeding it again? Or is this, of course, all speculation, rumor, and hearsay?

I've noticed that a lot of linguistics and academic torrents have vanished in the past six months. There used to be a series of three very good ebook packs that I haven't been able to find lately.

Generally, I just google things with the words "pdf" or "download" and that turns something up nine times out of ten.

Here's two pdfs I found about Lenca,

a comparative lexicon between the two varieties. It is rather poor but the lexicon is different from the other pdf.
