Description: "?The ‘Living? Bibliography of Burma Studies: The Secondary Literature” was first published in 2001, with the last update dated 26 April 2003. The SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research has been expanded to include a special bibliographic supplement this year, and every other year hereafter, into which additions and corrections to the bibliography will be incorporated. In the interim, each issue of the SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research will include a supplemental list, arranged by topic and subtopic. Readers are encouraged to contact the SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research with information about their publications, hopefully with a reference to a topic and sub-topic number for each entry, so that new information can be inserted into the bibliography correctly. References should be submitted in the form followed by the bibliography, using any of the entries as an example. Please note that any particular entry will only be included once, regardless of wider relevance. Eventually, all entries will be cross-listed to indicate other areas where a particular piece of research might be of use. This list has been compiled chiefly from direct surveys of the literature with additional information supplied by the bibliographies of numerous and various sources listed in the present bibliography. Additional sources include submissions from members of the BurmaResearch (including the former Earlyburma) and SEAHTP egroups, as well as public domain listings of personal publications on the internet. Please also note that newspaper and newsletter articles, encyclopedia articles, conference papers, and papers in progress will not be included in this list, as most are short pieces or extracts from already, or eventually to be, published works."

Description: A Dictionary of the Wa Language with English, Chinese, and Burmese (Myanmar) Glosses and Internet Database for Minority Languages of Burma (Myanmar) "...The SOAS Wa Dictionary Project is a three-year effort (2003-2006), funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board to produce a high quality dictionary, translating Wa into Chinese, Burmese/Myanmar and English. The project will use advanced techniques in corpus-based lexicography, centred on a database and Internet resource which will also be suitable for other languages spoken in Burma/Myanmar besides Wa after the life of the project..." The academic objectives of this project are * to compile an electronic Wa language corpus from printed and recorded materials suitable for linguistic and textual analysis * to produce two dictionaries of the Wa language from the corpus: one scholarly and one for Wa-speaking end-users * to record, document, preserve and disseminate the corpus using the Internet * to establish, by the end of the project, an expandable template for corpus-driven lexicography and linguistic research on other minority languages of Burma..."
