Grouped here as a formal science under this atlas's existing branch scheme rather than split by sub-field (phonology, syntax, historical linguistics and the like), since this atlas does not yet carry enough linguists to need that further split.FactsAll LinguisticsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField EstablishedWell-attested1847 1All LinguisticsFilter Results108 entriesDisciplineAllAnthropology (2)Biology (1)Cognitive Science (3)Linguistics (99)Psychology (5)Statistics (1)Field (legacy)AllAmerican Indian languages and language typology (1)Anthropological linguistics (2)Austronesian languages and syntax (1)Comparative and historical linguistics (1)Comparative and historical linguistics, philology (1)Comparative syntax of the Indo-European languages (1)Formal semantics (1)Generative linguistics (1)Germanic philology and historical linguistics (1)Historical linguistics (1)Historical linguistics and Indo-European studies (1)Historical linguistics and philology (1)Indo-European languages and the languages of California (1)Indo-European linguistics and historical linguistics (1)Indo-European linguistics, Celtic languages and Albanian (1)Indo-European studies and historical linguistics (1)Language development, cognitive development (1)Linguistics (38)Linguistics (syntax) (1)Linguistics and cognitive science (1)Linguistics and literary history (structural functionalism) (1)Linguistics and philology (Sanskrit studies) (1)Linguistics and phonetics (1)Linguistics and statistical linguistics (1)Linguistics, phonetics, speech science (1)Linguistics, Slavic studies, phonology (1)Linguistics, sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology (1)Mayan languages, syntax, morphology (1)Morphology (1)Neural basis of speech and language processing (1)Philology (1)Philology and Oriental studies (1)Philology, semantics, comparative grammar (1)Phonetics (1)Phonetics and phonology (1)Phonetics, prosody and speech communication (1)Phonology (1)Phonology, generative grammar (1)Pragmatics and semantics (1)Psycholinguistics (2)Psychology and linguistics (2)Sociolinguistics (2)Sociolinguistics (sociology of language) (1)Sociolinguistics, forensic linguistics (1)Sociolinguistics, variation theory (1)Structural linguistics (2)Structural linguistics and semiotics, Indo-European studies (1)Syntactic theory (1)Syntax (1)Syntax of English and the Romance languages (1)Syntax, phonology (1)Theoretical linguistics (1)Usage-based phonology, grammaticalization (1)EraAll520 BCE (1)1746 (1)1767 (1)1785 (2)1787 (1)1791 (1)1827 (1)1832 (1)1842 (1)1845 (1)1846 (2)1849 (1)1857 (1)1860 (1)1866 (1)1877 (2)1881 (1)1882 (1)1884 (1)1887 (1)1890 (2)1895 (1)1896 (1)1897 (1)1899 (1)1902 (2)1908 (1)1909 (2)1912 (1)1914 (1)1915 (1)1916 (1)1920 (1)1921 (1)1922 (1)1923 (1)1925 (3)1926 (2)1927 (2)1928 (2)1929 (3)1931 (1)1933 (1)1934 (1)1935 (1)1938 (3)1939 (4)1940 (2)1941 (5)1942 (2)1943 (1)1944 (3)1945 (8)1946 (2)1947 (2)1948 (1)1949 (4)1951 (2)1954 (1)1955 (2)1959 (1)1961 (1)InstitutionAllAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (13)Bell Labs (1)Collège de France (1)Columbia University (5)Harvard University (2)Humboldt University of Berlin (3)Linguistic Society of America (51)Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2)National Academy of Sciences (9)National Science Foundation (1)Ohio State University (2)Royal Society (1)Stanford University (2)University College London (1)University of California, Los Angeles (2)University of Cambridge (1)University of Chicago (2)University of Copenhagen (2)University of Edinburgh (2)University of Freiburg (2)University of Geneva (1)University of Göttingen (1)University of Vienna (1)University of Wisconsin-Madison (1)Yale University (3)In GroupAllComputational Linguistics (8)Historical And Comparative Linguistics (6)Other Linguists (13)Phonology And Phonetics (24)Psycholinguistics (11)Semantics And Pragmatics (11)Sociolinguistics (11)Syntax And Generative Grammar (24)NationalityAllCanada (4)Czechia (1)Denmark (4)Finland (1)France (4)Germany (6)Kingdom of Prussia (2)Latvia (1)Poland (2)Romania (1)Russia (3)Switzerland (1)United Kingdom (8)United States (71)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 100Andre MartinetLinguisticsAndrew GarrettLinguisticsAntoine MeilletLinguisticsArnold ZwickyLinguisticsArthur S.
