Great, I think there's enough interest to start something. Any ideas for the first text?
Any particular field? Are we looking for texts that don't require linguistic background?
My studies were pretty broad. Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Sociolinguistics, phonology, Linguistic ideology, phonetics, post structuralism (a favourite)....... We could start with a 'What is....?' type paper. For example LANGUAGE IDEOLOGY by Kathryn Woolard, which describes and discusses conceptions of language ideology? I have a disk full of pdfs, and can easily e-mail it to everyone?
that sounds fine to me! I'm up for anything!
As the first text, I suggest "Knowledge of Language" by Noam Chomsky.
Nice, I am a linguistic too, I am brazilian and I would love to join you!
"Knowledge of Language" looks interesting. I haven't read it. Maybe we could read the introduction for the first meeting? Does anyone have a copy?
(delete blurb)
Are people still interested in meeting up? If so please send your email addresses to dianchiados@gmail.com so that I can email the introduction of "Knowledge of Language" by Noam Chomsky as the reading for the first meeting.
