« Linguist List Grad School Challenge | Main | WHISC Has Moved!»
Support Linguistics on Wikipedia
Barbara Partee and the Linguist List have teamed up to improve the coverage of Linguistics on Wikipedia. Watch for a special initiative during the Linguist List's Fund Drive. WHISC will keep you posted.
Barbara reports that linguists in Moscow are "getting organized about filling in gaps in linguistics coverage in the Russian-language Wikipedia, and working together to standardize entries on languages and language families". The effort is headed by Yuri Koryakov.
The current WikipediaProject for Linguistics is languishing. It is worth our while as linguists to improve it. Chris Potts submitted the following story, which later appeared on Language Log:
In my large intro course yesterday, there was an unfamiliar hand in the air a lot of the time, and the student's questions and insights were the best I've had all semester. It was puzzling, because I didn't recognize him, and he seemed to know much more about syntax than one would expect. (It was our first official day on the topic.)
After class, he came to the front and introduced himself as a prospective student, just out of high school. He said linguistics was his passion in high school. I said, "What? How?" And he replied, "Wikipedia".
[Thanks Barbara!]
