| Description: | Shoebox is a computer
program that helps field linguists and anthropologists integrate
various kinds of text data: lexical, cultural, grammatical, etc. It has flexible options for
sorting, selecting, and displaying data. It is especially useful for helping researchers build a
dictionary as they use it to analyze and interlinearize text. The name Shoebox recalls the
use of shoe boxes to hold note cards on which the definitions of words were written in the
days before researchers could use computers in the field. |
