Automating language description

Almost half of the world’s 7000 languages are endangered (Campbell & Belew 2018). Linguists try to combat this loss of human heritage by documenting languages. They do this by recording words, sentences and stories in the original language, accompanied by transcriptions, translations and grammati...
