What will this session do?“This session addresses the needs and strategies for translating work in the linguistic sciences for more general (non-academic) audiences.” [Reviewer 1]
“This is an issue we all deal with – few people outside the field understand what we do. But not many linguists understand how to communicate beyond the comfortable boundaries of their own discipline.” [Reviewer 2]
“This session will provide very useful information to those who are applying for a grant and involved in administration, but not much with the general audience at the LSA.” [Reviewer 3]

Current vs. Future
Current
Mapping: 6400 lg. polygonsAudio/text: ~3000 lgsSearch: name or locationLanguage ID tool
Future Potential
Mapping: many layersResources: quantity & qualityInteroperabilityAdvanced searchAPI, etc. etc.
Langscape already has useful applicationsLangscape currently is a proof of concept for a global language portal

Some Questions1. Who participates – how do you get them involved?2. What does it cost (time, $$)? Who’s paying?3. All very nice, but you’re all old and tenured. I need to get papers written.4. How do you keep your team engaged, contributing fresh ideas?5. “Meet them where they are”: what does this mean?6. “Utilize your strengths”7. But my work just isn’t suitable for a general audience (unlike you folks
who do shallow sexy experiments)8. Does “Linguistics” sound too scary (eek – grammar class!)9. What has surprised you? 10. What’s with the gender imbalance (really: 13/16 on the symposium
proposal are female; are guys just useless)?
