Abstract | Discussion of the research methodology of theoretical linguistics argues that linguists studying a small, unrepresentative set of languages defining the content of sub-disciplines in linguistics are engaging in an unarticulated alliance, and that the choice of languages for study threatens the validity of the research. This is illustrated through examination of journal content in sociolinguistics and creole linguistics. (MSE) |
