WordNet: A lexical database for English
WordNet® is a free downloadable lexical database of English whose development has been directed by George A Miller, celebrated as one of the instigators of modern cognitive psychology. Words are grouped into 'synsets' that express distinct concepts, and these synsets are interlinked according to conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The interlinked network can be navigated with WordNet's browser. It is a valuable tool for computational linguistics and natural language processing. Learn about the Global WordNet Association too. It's all very, very interesting.

J&R Publishing Services | J&R Press
Without doubt, Speechwoman knows promise when she sees it! So she's keeping a close eye on J&R Publishing Services who offer researchers and academics in human communication science a platform for publishing their works. Her tip is that this new company is going to be a winner in the skilled, experienced hands of Jim and Rachael Wilkie. Authors, if you have an SLP/SLT manuscript up your sleeve, or a terrific book idea, contact J&R Press. They have much to offer!

Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment
The National Acoustics Laboratory is a division of Australian Hearing. Its LOCHI "outcomes study" aims to examine, longitudinally, the development of children who have been identified with hearing loss in the Australian states of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. In its first phase the study focuses on development up to 5 years of age. This small but highly informative, family-friendly and interesting site includes research papers, clinical tools and newsletters. The LOCHI team also provides, as downloads or via email, copies of the PEACH and CDI assessments in a range of languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, Japanese, Turkish and Vietnamese.

Speechmag blog
UK based Speech & Language Therapy in Practice is an immensely readable quarterly print magazine "written by therapists for therapists". Each issue includes how-to articles, clinical reports, low cost ideas, reflections, opinions, discussion and debate (much of it around EBP), advice from a life-coach, and book, materials and other reviews. The mission of the magazine is, "To be the most inspirational, essential and  practical resource for speech and language therapists in the UK". It has its own web site with a members' only section, a presence on Facebook and the editor Avril Nicoll's blog. As well as being a skilled editor Avril has a lively and engaging writing style, so it comes as no surprise that her blog is interesting, informative and entertaining. The Speechmag blog has been recognised with the first Speechwoman award for 2010.
