presentations and publications

The following are papers and presentation materials about, or arising from, SLAAP. Since most of SLAAP's active development occured in its first few years, most publications focused on details about SLAAP stem from that period. More recent papers may be added here in the future that relate more generally to sociolinguitic data management and/or are from related work by Tyler Kendall. The SLAAP User Guide also provides a lot of information about SLAAP. In the meantime, more recent papers by Tyler Kendall (and others) citing SLAAP can be found on Google Scholar. Tyler's work on data management in recent years more typically has focused on the Corpus of Regional African American Language, and Google Scholar searches on that will also point to other work related to data management in linguistics.
