An app that aims to make life easier for researchers working on bilingualism, sociolinguistics, language attitudes, and regional/minority/minoritized languages.

Project description

The L’ART Research Assistant is a freely available open-source app that aids researchers in the collection, storage and transfer of data for research in bilingualism and language attitudes, especially in cases of bilinguals who speak a majority language and a regional / minority / minoritized language.

Features

  • Fieldwork-ready — use the included versions of the LSBQe, AToL, MGT, and digital informed consent forms, or make your own versions.

  • Reproducible — make your research reproducible by simply sharing version information.

  • Extensible — contribute with JSON, Python, HTML and JavaScript or import the backend in your own Python project.

  • Free and open — dual-licensed under the AGPLv3-or-later and the EUPL-1.2+.

  • Cross-platform — runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
