Revision as of 22:46, 23 October 2006
Other topics?
I think that phonologies and general languages are where Misplaced Pages is, at least now, doing alright. We need a group to concentrate on other areas of linguistics. Coverage, for instance, of Discourse analysis is very poor. jnothman 11:14, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Reflex in linguistics
Somebody on Talk:Reflex action asked for it, since I don't know anything (if the request is valid), I am echoing it here. Samohyl Jan 04:16, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
- As cognate is to cousins or sisters, so reflex is to daughters or granddaughters. If a sound or form A in a daughter language is described as a reflex of sound or form B in a parent language, then A is the sound or form that B became. For example, English initial "h" is a reflex of PIE kʷ. Does that help? 207.245.124.66 15:39, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Theoretical linguistics
Would be great to get this project to cover theoretical linguistics too. A lot of the pages are in a right state. e.g. Language acquisition and principles and parameters - FrancisTyers 22:55, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- I would be interested in helping, although my knowledge is kind of stale (I completed my Ph.D. 30 years ago, but haven't worked in Linguistics since then). -- Dalbury 13:53, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Requested merge
I have requested that the new British language (Celtic) article be merged into the Welsh language article. Contribute at Talk:Welsh language.--Mais oui! 11:01, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Scottish, Manx, and Cornish are also "British" Celtic languages (you could probably even say that Irish is too, although that's politically touchy). I'm not sure what makes Welsh special among the non-Gaelic siblings. I guess this is supposed to be about the proto-language of Cornish, Welsh, and Breton, i.e. P-Celtic. Why should it be merged into Welsh and not Cornish or Breton? Mike Dillon 16:33, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Anthropology wikiproject?
I just made a proposal for an anthropology wikiproject on the "list of proposed wikiprojects" page. If you're interested, you can sign up at our entry and on the temporary project page. Thanks. Ungovernable Force 21:08, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Linguistics subtypes
I neglected to mention this earlier, but some time ago I proposed a number of possible sub-stub-types (as it were) of ling-stub, which is somewhat oversized. (Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/2006/October#Linguistics subtypes) Having split out {{phonetics-stub}}, I'd find any domain-expert input on which to tackle next very welcome.

Project Directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
- User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory,
- User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2,
- User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory,
- User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory,
- User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory,
- User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
- User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
- User:Badbilltucker/Science directory
and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.
