A missing category of resources
It occurs to me that there is an entire domain of resources for the linguistics community in times of social distancing that is missing from this page. Specifically, resources for facilitating online research. This can include a wide variety of resources, such as speech or text corpora available online, or platforms for designing and implementing online studies or recruiting participants online. I would be happy to provide some resources, or information on resources, that I have used or know of. If this is of interest to the LSA, please let me know ([email protected])!
