Handbook on Ethical Issues in Anthropology
We have designed this Handbook on Ethical Issues in Anthropology to help social science faculty introduce discussions of ethics in their courses. Such discussions, we believe, are an essential part of the teaching of anthropological theory and methods.
Society for Linguistic Anthropology
The Society for Linguistic Anthropology is devoted to exploring and understanding the ways in which language shapes, and is shaped by, social life, from face-to-face interaction to global-level phenomena.
Blogs
Language: A Feminist Guide
This is a feminist blog about language (in fact, mostly the English language), written by a feminist who’s also a linguist. In this space I’ll try to address some frequently asked questions, debunk some common myths, and ponder some of the linguistic dilemmas confronting feminists in the 21st century.
Code Switch: Race and Identity, Remixed
Code Switch is a team of seven NPR journalists who cover race, ethnicity and culture. Our work appears on-air and online, across NPR's shows and digital outlets. We produce this blog, a Tumblr, a Twitter stream, and a Facebook feed.
Separated by a Common Language
Observations on British and American English by an American linguist in the UK.
Superlinguo
Superlinguo is a blog about language and linguistics.
Strong Language
If vulgar language offends you, then thank you. You’re one of the people who help maintain the effectiveness of vulgarities. You will very likely be offended by the articles in this blog. If vulgar language interests or entertains you, or is a constant source of solace or release, and if you like language in general, then come on in. This blog gives a place for professional language geeks to talk about things they can’t talk about in more polite contexts. It’s a sweary blog about swearing.
All Things Linguistic
All Things Linguistic is a daily linguistics blog by Gretchen McCulloch. I started this blog when I was a linguistics grad student at McGill University, but now I write about linguistics for a general audience full-time.
Languages of hunter-gatherers and their neighbors
This database houses lexical, grammatical, and other data from languages spoken by hunter-gatherer groups and their small-scale agrarian neighbors. It is designed to facilitate the exploration of these data and to aid in phylogenetic research regarding the languages under investigation. At present, the languages targeted are predominantly from three major world regions: northwestern Australia, northern Amazonia, and California and the Great Basin.
D-PLACE: Database of Places, Language, Culture, and Environment
D-PLACE, or the Database of Places, Language, Culture, and Environment, is an attempt to bring together the dispersed corpus of information describing human cultural diversity. It aims to make it easy for individuals to contrast their own cultural practices with those of other societies, and to consider the factors that may underlie cultural similarities and differences.
