THE UNIVERSALS ARCHIVE goes do-it-yourself
For over seven years The Universals Archive has now been available on the internet in the form of a searchable archive, enabling its on-line users either to retrieve particular universals or sets of them (in terms of any words or word parts, or combinations of words or word parts, that occur in archive entries) or to browse through the archive for general instruction or entertainment. Although, with currently over 2,000 entries, The Universals Archive is the most extensive collection of linguistic universals, it is a far cry from being comprehensive, not to mention other shortcomings. Nonetheless, over the years, many typologists appear to have found it a useful resource for research and teaching; and much valuable feedback was received by the archivists.
