Modern Austrian literature and culture association
http://www.malca.org/
This is the home page of the Modern Austrian Literature and Culture Association (MALCA), an American-based academic organisation which dates back to 1962 in its previous incarnation as the International Arthur Schnitzler Research Association. A subsite gives a history of the society in terms of its administrative resolutions and constitution. This page also lists upcoming conventions and conferences which MALCA runs with affiliated scholarly regional linguistic studies groups. From the opening page, users may find related advertisements regarding upcoming panels at major academic colloquia, whose members are seeking additional participants. Details are given on MALCA's executive body; graduate student funding; and membership and subscription information. A fairly comprehensive and accessible links page offers links to German language and teaching resources; sources for information on Central Europe; relevant departments, publications and newsgroups; archives and libraries; professional organsiations; and media sources. Perhaps the most useful parts of the site are the subsites devoted to MALCA's publications. These include Teaching Austria, a new E-Journal focused on the techniques and best practices in the "teaching of Austrian, Austro-Hungarian and Habsburg culture, history and society." This resource is peer reviewed and available in full-text version online. MALCA also manages and hosts the peer reviewed journal Modern Austrian Literature.

British academic spoken English (BASE) corpus
http://www.coventry.ac.uk/base/
The BASE website offers information about and access to the British Academic Spoken English (BASE) corpus. The corpus consists of recordings made in a variety of university departments, grouped into four broad disciplinary groups with 40 lectures and 10 seminars in each: Arts and Humanities; Social Sciences; Physical Sciences; and Life Sciences. The recordings, together making up around 1.6 million word tokens, have been transcribed and tagged, and the transcriptions can be downloaded from the website in XML format. The lecture portion of the corpus can also be accessed through the Sketch Engine corpus analysis interface (subscrition-based with free 30-day trial). The BASE corpus is a valuable resource for investigation of language use in academic context and the website contains a list of publications and conference papers which refer to BASE data. In addition to the BASE manual, the site also provides access to an Excel spreadsheet with information about the individual lectures and seminars, such as: title; department; audience; date of recording; speakers; duration. A link is provided to a selection of interviews with academic staff made in relation to the BASE corpus. The corpus can also be ordered via the Oxford Text Archive (OTA) website (formerly part of the Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS)), on completion of a request access form.
