Glosses for grammatical and ungrammatical sentences

ODIN, the Online Database of INterlinear Text (I know, I know, why not “ODIT”?) collects sentences from linguistics journals that have interlinear glosses.

They’ve got data on over a thousand languages–and probably most useful, they give you something grammars usually don’t–what ISN’T allowed (or at least what is claimed to be disallowed).

For example, from Broadwell (2002) on Amharic:

    28) *wädä [[yä=Yohannïs]PP bet]]NP
    toward of=John       house
    (`toward John's house')

Versus:

    29) wädä [[Yohannïs]PP bet]]NP
    toward John        house
    `toward John's house'
