Welcome to the LingTools site, a service hosted by the Language Variation and Computation Lab in the University of Oregon's Linguistics Department. This site is connected to our work on the Sociolinguistic Archive and Analysis Project (SLAAP) and the Corpus of Regional African American Language (CORAAL).

SLAAP, hosted at NC State University, is available at https://slaap.chass.ncsu.edu/.

The website supporting Tyler Kendall and Valerie Fridland's Sociophonetics book (Cambridge University Press 2021) is at http://lingtools.uoregon.edu/sociophonetics/.

• The SLAAP Tool to convert from Praat TextGrid to plain text is not currently online, however I recommend using one of the Praat script downloads for this.
• Other SLAAP Tools are probably not currently available. Please email Tyler (tsk at uoregon dot edu) if you are in need of one of those tools!
