-Database thematically searchable using “controlled vocabulary” in addition to “to the word” – a possible project for post-doc in Library Sciences
-Hybrid “controlled vs. Google” approach
-Audio annotation listening session (Sabine and Liban as primary researchers) – grad students/professors annotate for audio features. Jared and Annie simultaneously produce a study on how literary scholars listen. Controlled vocabulary for what prosodic features we are looking for.
-Presentation of Jared and Annie’s paper at the end of November
Spring-time
