Glottopedia:Linguistic research articles
Revision as of 16:10, 4 June 2007 by Haspelmath (talk | contribs)
Glottopedia also contains articles dealing with topics relating to linguistic research activities, such as conferences, journals, institutions, and individual linguists.
In this regard, Glottopedia is very different from Wikipedia, which limits itself to classical encyclopedic information. But Glottopedia aims to be a comprehensive reference tool for linguists, and linguists need information not only about languages and ways of analyzing them, but also about their colleagues and ways of interacting with them.
There are several subcategories of linguistic research articles:
- Articles on linguistic research institutions (especially university departments)
- Articles on individual (currently active) linguists
- Articles on linguistics conferences
- Articles on journals in the field of linguistics
Linguistic research articles are all assigned to the major category LIRE.
