Linguistics

Anthropoetics: The Electronic Journal of Generative Anthropology
In contrast to fashionable methodologies that dissolve the human in the fractal complexity of cultural differences, generative anthropology (GA) attempts to understand cultural phenomena in the simplest terms possible: all things human are traced back to their source in the hypothetical scene of origin in which human beings as sign-using creatures first emerged.

The Human Languages Pages
The Human-Language Page was started in May of 1994 to address the lack of an organized list of language-learning materials available on the Internet. It initially began with 30 links that I had found by hand, along with a call to others to notify me of sites they had seen or even sites they ran that might be appropriate. In June of 1995, the list had grown to over 300 links comprising over 60 different languages.

Anthropological Linguistics
Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification, both methodological and substantive; discussions and interpretations of archival material; edited historical documents; and contributions to the history of the field.

International Journal of American Linguistics
International Journal of American Linguistics (IJAL) is a world forum for the study of all the languages native to North, Central, and South America. Inaugurated by Franz Boas in 1917, IJAL concentrates on the investigation of linguistic data and on the presentation of grammatical fragments and other documents relevant to Amerindian languages.

The Linguist List
Linguist List is the electronic mailing list of the linguistics community. This site offers connections to linguists all over the world through online resources.
