Notes: (Dr. Beard is now the Chief Linguistics Officer and CTO of yourDictionary.com.) yourDictionary.com has been recognized as the web's pre-eminent language portal by dozens of organizations around the world. Most recently, yourDictionary.com was selected as the "Best of the Web for Reference" by Forbes magazine. Other recent accolades have come from The New Yorker, the BBC, the Chronicle of Higher Education, the Washington Post, USA Today, and Yahoo Internet Life, among many others. The Advisory Council of Experts The authority and academic rigor of the yourDictionary.com site is, perhaps, best exemplified by our Advisory Council of Experts (ACE), which comprises some two dozen of the world's most accomplished linguists. The distinguished members of the Council provide indispensable guidance in the development, acquisition, and maintenance of the dictionaries under their purview, and help ensure the integrity of their respective areas of linguistic specialization. Members of the Council also contribute original articles to the YDC Library. Preserving the World's Linguistic Heritage Of the seven thousand languages and dialects spoken on the planet, experts have concluded that more than half are endangered and actually headed toward extinction by the end of the century. To help preserve the languages and the distinct heritage each represents, yourDictionary.com has created the Endangered Language Repository (ELR). The purpose of the ELR is to provide a sanctuary for these languages on the worldwide web, to better enable access by both scholars and interested laypersons. What's Going On? The intention of yourDictionary.com is to become the most authoritative and comprehensive Web portal specializing in information about language - any language in the world. Come here to look up a general or specialized word in English or foreign-language dictionaries. We will do our best to provide a home, or link to all the creditable dictionaries, glossaries and wordlists available on the Web. But yourDictionary.com will do more than that: it will provide ways of building vocabularies, studying grammar, practicing spoken and written languages. It will provide scientific information about language as well as various forms of language play designed to build language skills. If you don't find the linguistic information you want here, let us know, for yourDictionary.com is also a language-interest community designed to find and share information about speaking, reading, writing and comprehending your own language and all the other languages in the world.
