SSWL is a searchable database that allows users to discover which properties (morphological, syntactic, and semantic) characterize a language, as well as how these properties relate across languages. This system is designed to be free to the public and open-ended. Anyone can use the database to perform queries.
To learn more about the objectives of SSWL, please visit the original workshop site or watch our tutorial video.
