Computational Resources for Linguistic Research
Bill Poser, who posts at Language Log, maintains a page of goodies for computers and linguistics, with lots of links to freeware that runs on Unix systems. Unfortunately, I’ve pretty much abandoned Linux (gave away my spare computer that was running it to a friend in need), and I’m not sure how much of it will run on OS X. I know that at least one project to do GTK on OS X was abandoned, and another is in pre-alpha…
Alan Wood has a Unicode Resources Page with various utilities for Unicode on Mac OS X, some free, some not, but I’m not sure there’s anything exactly equivalent to the BabelMap or gucharmap utilities. The best bet may be the builtin Character Palette, though it seems to be limited in the scripts it has available (Ethiopic, for instance, is listed, but seems to be empty, but Gujarati is there). Still it’s pretty cool to be able to look up Japanese by Radical.
