Dear Colleagues,

We are organizing a Paralex (www.paralex-standard.orghttp://www.paralex-standard.org/) datathon, co-located with the Journées LIFT 2 2026 (https://gdr-lift.loria.fr/journees-scientifiques/), on the 18th of November 2026.

Content:

This datathon aims to guide participants through the creation of high-quality, FAIR morphological data. Participants will create Paralex datasets, machine-readable collections of inflectional paradigms. These collections are of benefit to people working on descriptions of individual languages, language typologists, theorists and quantitative linguists.

Participants are expected to bring morphological data they are interested in, be it content from a grammar, their own fieldwork collection, other datasets, etc.
