The Second Wakashan
Linguistics Conference (WLC2) will be held 5–7 May 2006 at the
University of Victoria.
Welcome
The Wakashan Linguistics Page and the Wakashan
Linguistics List are a joint effort among some graduate students from the
University of British Columbia, the University of Washington, the University of
California, Santa Cruz, and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The Page
and List are hosted by the University of Washington.
The Wakashan Linguistics Page is dedicated to research on the Wakashan
languages. Here, we are developing resources both for linguists interested in
these languages and for members of Wakashan communities. These include
descriptions of Wakashan languages, summaries of current Wakashan projects,
links to other relevant web locations, and a bibliography of Wakashan-related
works. The Page also serves the users of the Wakashan Linguistics List.
The Wakashan Linguistics List is an e-mail forum for the discussion of research
on Wakashan languages. The aim of the List is to build connections and
facilitate communication among people interested in Wakashan languages. To
subscribe to the Wakashan Linguistics List, visit the WLL Info page.
You will be subscribed under the e-mail address from which you send the
subscription message. Once you are subscribed, send a question or comment on a
Wakashan topic to the following address:
and the message will be posted to the entire List. Because we have had problems
with spam messages, only messages from subscribers are posted to the List.
Postings to the Wakashan List (since March 2003) are archived, viewable, and
searchable on the Wakashan List Mirror, hosted by the Linguist List.
What is Linguistics?
The science
of Linguistics is concerned with all aspects of human behavior and environment
that interact with human beings’ ability to use language, including language
learning, language use in human society, the structures and meanings of words
and sentences, the physics of language sounds, and the anatomy of the brain,
vocal tract, and other speech organs.
