Linguist Rick Aschmann spent years creating this painstakingly detailed map of regional American and Canadian dialects. Aschmann has been steadily adding to it as people from all over the U.S. send him audio samples of themselves speaking. In addition to the videos people send him, Aschmann says he made the map from information he found on several language websites, from the Atlas of North American English, and also by watching a lot of online videos of people who he says retain their local dialect well, like politicians, gospel singers and NASCAR drivers.
Eighteenth-Century Book Tracker is dedicated to indexing freely-available digital facsimiles of eighteenth-century texts and cross-referencing them to standard bibliographical reference sources. This site provides a clearinghouse for discovering and sharing links to eighteenth-century primary materials. Eighteenth-Century Book Tracker aims to build a database of bibliographically accurate records that link to freely-available texts online. By pooling its users' expertise, the site brings bibliographical order to the sometimes haphazard world of mass digitization. This site is devoted to preserving the identity of eighteenth-century books in a digital realm where such distinctions are at risk of being lost in a sea of mere text. The database currently includes 2,702 links, representing 1,232 texts and 22 periodicals.

Users will be able to perform both keyword and faceted searches across bibliographic records containing both edition-specific and copy-specific information about each novel.
Postcolonial digital humanities has taken shape recently as an emergent academic field. Its lineage reaches back to the 1990s, when scholars Deepika Bahri and George Landow first created websites such as "Postcolonial Studies at Emory" (original version) and "The Postcolonial Literature and Culture Web." These scholars marshaled the text-based internet culture of Web 1.0 to establish sites of knowledge; identify key terms, theorists, and stakes for postcolonial studies; and to publicize the field. This website website addresses these opportunities by outlining the shape of the contemporary 'postcolonial digital humanities' through interrogating the ways postcolonial studies has evolved through different phases of internet culture from the original Web 1.0 postcolonial websites, to the "transmedia" shift beginning in the mid-2000s, to the later move to Web 2.0 and the rise of social media cultures.

Un punto di riferimento nel mondo della short fiction con notizie, articoli, novità, segnalazioni. "Although the short story was a popular feature of many magazines for most of the last century, in more recent years the form has too often been overlooked and undervalued, considered by many to be little more than the means by which aspiring novelists hone their craft. At THRESHOLDS, however, we have no doubt that the short story is a vital literary form in its own right, deserving of serious critical attention and acclaim."
