Open Language Access (OLA): Democratising Linguistic Resources

<p>The audio file is a podcast introducing the&nbsp;Open Language Access (OLA) project.</p> <p>OLA is a collaborative digital archive that brings together researchers from all over the world. Launched in 2019 in the context of linguistic research, OLA is not just an archive but, above all, a platform that aims at providing tools for the creation, collaborative editing, exploration and publication of textual archives. In today&#39;s society, language stands as a central tool for change, and at the same time as a register and trace of the change itself. Hence the need to create a digital and accessible linguistic archive (open source and open access) with the aim of changing the paradigms of society&#39;s observation by providing an accessible tool to anyone who wants to look at change through language.</p>
