CZ:Linguistics Workgroup

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

Welcome to the Linguistics Workgroup. If you are not already a member of Citizendium, join here.

• Please add yourself to the 'Authors' or 'Editors' pages above by placing the appropriate tag (e.g.Category:Linguistics Authors|Lastname, Firstname in double square brackets, if you're an author) on your user page.

• For workgroup discussion, please join the Linguistics Workgroup mailing list and visit the Citizendium Linguistics forum.

Articles

Articles are in various stages of development. Click 'All Articles' above for linguistics articles which may or may not have been worked on. Check Linguistics External Articles for pages that have not changed significantly from the Wikipedia versions, and Linguistics Developing Articles for those with significant work. Developed articles are those that are nearing completion.

What can I write about?

• There is a list of linguistics articles at CZ:Core Articles - Social Sciences, consisting of Wikipedia-sourced articles in need of editing, 'micro-stubs' (articles in need of expansion) and articles yet to be written. You can start, restart or expand any of these - and get credit for it! The list is copied below, along with more details of the 'Core Articles' project.

• Please also find below a longer list of suggested linguistics-related article titles, which may or may not have a Citizendium page. Perhaps you'd like to start one from scratch or upload and modify the Wikipedia version. Some of these are also 'Core Articles'.

• If you can write in other languages, you might also like to declare which one(s) at CZ:International.

• Articles on languages have so far been titled so as to include the word 'language', in order to avoid confusion: e.g. English language not just English. This hasn't been officially agreed upon.

Lists of articles

Article titles which have quite a few links to them within Citizendium but as yet have no article include:

Articulatory phonetics: Add brief definition or description Linguistic blend: Add brief definition or description Sentence (linguistics): Largest unit of grammatical structure in language, independent of and subordinating any other syntactic unit, and consisting of several types (e.g. declaratives, i.e. statements) and patterns (e.g. compound sentences, i.e. comprising two or more clauses). [e] Slang: Add brief definition or description

Cantonese language: Add brief definition or description Swedish language: Add brief definition or description Tamil language: Add brief definition or description Minority language: Add brief definition or description

Core articles

'Core Articles' are those which workgroup authors and editors have declared most important. Starting an article on any of these earns you points which you can list here. To get credit, you must start an article from the list below, contributing 250+ words (or expanding if it's a Citizendium-originating 'micro-stub'). If the article is 'external' (usually, this means it's imported with few or no changes from Wikipedia), then you must replace it altogether with your work. See the 'Core Articles' pages for more details, specifically the social sciences section ('linguistics' copied below) and accompanying Talk page.
