The LanguageServer is a web-based platform that provides information and materials on languages (LLOW), language learning & teaching materials (LLTM) and language corpora (LDATA).
The LanguageServer is work in progress and still at an early stage of development. At its final stage, it will offer a wide range of materials and informations on languages, language learning, and linguistics. The LanguageServer is a project initiated and supported by the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Graz and is organised and implemented by the Department of Linguistics.
http://languageserver.uni-graz.at/ - The LLOW-database is work in progress and this version is restricted to what you see and what you get. The ultimate aim is to arrive at an extensive description of all languages of the world on the basis of linguistic-genetic (language families, clusters, ...) and sociolinguistic (status as official language, minority language, ...) criteria as well as social-, geopolitical and geographical parameters (number of speakers, geographical extension, ...). In addition to this literature references, internet-links, short texts on the individual language families and groups as well as text- and audio samples of individual languages will be offered.
http://languageserver.uni-graz.at/llow/index.html - LAMM is a data file that offers exercises for language learners. These exercises are meant to support language learners during the process of learning a language and can be used as support to a wide range of language courses as they are not course specific. The exercises are grouped according to the levels of the Common European Framework of the Council of Europe (A1-C2) and offer exercises to practise different skills: grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, listening comprehension, writing and speaking. The exercises can be searched according to different criteria: language, skill, level, author.
Students can do the exercises on the computer, get an evaluation and can also send this evaluation to their teachers or they can print out the excercises and fill them in by hand.Exercises are offered for the following languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
http://languageserver.uni-graz.at/lamm/index.php - ROMLEX documents the Romani lexicon. It gives users an opportunity to consult materials in different dialects of Romani, and to obtain translations into different languages. The ROMLEX project involves young native speakers of Romani in lexical and lexicographic compilation. So far 16 trainees from 10 different countries have been contributing to the project.
