Creative investment : arts and humanities research and the ‘innovation economy’
This Web page outlines a series of AHRC-funded workshops held in 2009 aimed at exploring the contribution of research to innovation and creativity, by bringing together practitioners, researchers and policy makers from disciplines across the arts, humanities, social sciences and creative industries.
Language convergence and grammatical borrowing database
The database contains records each representing a language in contact with another language or group of languages. Each record contains several layouts, each layout is devoted to a particular domain of structure. The records provide information about the structural categories, domains, and sub-categories that are affected by contact, the type of contact influence (matter or pattern replication), and text fields provide glossed examples of structures that are believed to have emerged as a result
Acquisition of Welsh syntax
This resource is available via the Oxford Text Archive (OTA) website, and can be downloaded as a zipped file in AIFF format. It is necessary to apply for approval from the OTA before download, and a link is provided to the terms and conditions of use, and a form to apply for permission. The project aims to gather a substantial corpus of natural speech from children in the early stages of acquisition of Welsh as a first language, and consists of weekly tapes of 30-45 minutes over 9 months.

Angloromani (sample)
This resource is available via the Oxford Text Archive (OTA) website, and can be downloaded as a zipped XML file and AIFF audio file. It is necessary to apply for approval from the OTA before download, and a link is provided to the terms and conditions of use, and a form to apply for permission. The data derives from a pilot project which investigated the use of Romani words in the speech of English Gypsies. Romani was once the everyday language of the Romani minority in Britain. It was aband
In the footsteps of Marco Polo
The website "In the footsteps of Marco Polo" was produced by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Museum in 2002-2003.

Users can retrace the journey, which lasted twenty-four years and took the Venetian merchant to China, which he called Cathay, and to the Court of Khubilai Khan. Some places visited by Marco Polo are described in detail - taking in
