Software and Research Procedure Documentation
The following links provide information on procedures or software developed within SHRLC. The EMU project, which originated in SHLRC, is now an international collaborative project and so its home page has moved to the Sourceforge site. Please note: Some of these links leave the main Linguistics web site. When this is so a new browser window will be opened.
