Welcome to Glottopedia, the free encyclopedia of linguistics.

Update information (17th September 2020): The update to the newest version of Mediawiki has been completed.
During the process 168 users without an ID in the database have been deleted, this should not cause any problems since users without IDs aren't activated accounts and as such can't edit the wiki. If you experience problems with your user account please contact glottopedia[at]uni-trier.de.
It appears that no data was lost during transfer, except for one page that has been recovered. The old version of Glottopedia will still be available for an unknown amount of time, but not editable. If you find any pages that are missing in this updated version please contact glottopedia[at]uni-trier.de. (URL will be available here once we know what it is)
Some minor tweaks are still necessary and will be completed shortly.
We ask you to keep a copy of your edits/created pages until we are sure this new version of Mediawiki runs smoothly.

Introduction  -  Frequently asked questions  -  Contact  -  All articles A–Z  -  Number of articles: 3,227  -  Glottopedia in German

Glottopedia is a freely editable encyclopedia for linguists by linguists that is currently being built up. It will contain dictionary articles on all technical terms of linguistics and is multilingual. In addition, there are survey articles, biographical articles and language articles, potentially on all linguists and all languages.

Glottopedia articles also exist in German, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian, Danish, Swedish, Chinese, Japanese, Norwegian (Nynorsk), and in the future hopefully also in many other languages.


Glottopedia needs your contribution!
