ACL sustainable reviewing policy is live! aclrollingreview.org/sustainable-... This was an incredible amount of work by incredible people in & outside of peer review committee. As any policy, it has compromises and will leave some unhappy. But it'll help to not repeat the disaster of EMNLP'26.

Update: The new system is up and running, the platform is fully functional. We will test and implement features in the coming days & there might be small hiccups still when using the app, but the most important steps have been taken. Should you notice any bugs, let us know. Thx for your patience!

Starting Friday at midnight, we will begin transitioning to the new server and platform version for Lingscape. During this time, the website and apps will be unavailable. We expect to finish implementation and testing by Sunday evening and apologize for any delay this may cause for our users.

Lingscape is turning 10! Let’s celebrate

This September marks 10 years since we launched the Lingscape app. We would like to celebrate this milestone with a small colloquium to look back on the past 10 years and kick off the next chapter …

Seit meiner Zeit am Deutschen Sprachatlas befasse ich mich mit dem Lautdenkmal reichsdeutscher Mundarten, einer historischen Sammlung von Tonaufnahmen, gedacht als Geschenk für Hitler. Das Projekt war zwischenzeitlich eingeschlafen, hat aber jetzt eine komplett neue Website. lautdenkmal.de

Eleven years ago, I dreamed of a card game in which players would build and play universes against each other in the multiverse. The next day, we built a prototype using the backs of another game's card deck. The game was playable and astonishingly stable from the beginning.

It's really happening! We're kicking off the first beta tests for the new Lingscape app. Unlike before, the app isn't being developed natively for iOS and Android, but is based on the cross-platform framework Flutter.

🚧 Service-Skeet 🚧 We are currently experiencing issues with the Lingscape server. The app and web platform are not functioning properly. We are investigating the issue and hope to resolve it soon. However, it’s the weekend, and IT is not in service, so it may take some time.
