I think it would be good to merge this list with the new List of cognitive science topics. Since the latter was just created by taking this list and adding some non-linguistic entries, this would be pretty easy. I suggest the new list would be called "List of cognitive science and linguistics topics". Or do people think that, despite the overlap in subject matter, linguistics should continue to have its own list? --Ryguasu 06:54 Dec 27, 2002 (UTC)

I have been compiling a much broader list of wikipedia articles that are related to linguistics. Some of them are brief articles defining terms in specific subfields of linguistics. I am going to put the entire list on this page, but perhaps someone could suggest a better way to organize them than putting them all in one big alphabetical list?

As for combining the list with the cognitive science list, perhaps the cogsci list would be better off with just basic linguistic topics and a focus on non-linguistic cogsci topics? I know much less about what constitues "cognitive science" as a field of study than I do linguistics, but the general feeling I get is that the set of all topics related to linguistics is not necessarily a pure subset of the set of all topics related to cognitive science. --Nohat 21:22 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)

categorise

For those who like categories, it may be a good idea to go through all the links on this page and categorise them as Category:Linguistics if that hasn't already happened. -- pne 13:56, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

What does this note in the lead mean?

I was confused why the word "is" is a self-link, so I checked the source and saw this, but I don't understand what it's saying:

[[Linguistics]][[List of linguistic topics|&nbsp;]]<!-- (Since this list also serves as a maintenance page, the interested parties also want to know when changes are made to this list as well; so please do not remove the self-link.)-->is

What is a maintenance page?
Who are the interested parties?
How does this self-link alert the interested parties to changes?
Why is it in the lead instead of, say, the end matter?
Why is it required to link the word "is"?
