Glossary

Add a term to our glossary and create the corresponding entry.

• Name of your page: if you work on synonymy, then your page should be called Glossary:Synonym
• IPA symbols can be gained from: http://westonruter.github.com/ipa-chart/keyboard/ (thanks to Leo for the link!)

Group

• Form a group of at most 5 people.
• Make sure you can exchange information within the group (exchange e-mail, ...)
• Decide on the topic for your group.
• Create the wikipage for your group. Your page should follow the pattern used by Group 0.
• Include at least three references that may help you work on your topic.

Prepare a short presentation

Each group will give a 3 minute presentation on their topic:

1. What is your group working on?
2. Give one clear example.
3. What is particularly difficult?
