Welcome to WikiProject Linguistics. We are a group of editors collaborating to improve linguistics articles on Wikipedia. We cover a broad range of subjects within the general field of linguistics, including theoretical linguistics, applied linguistics, etymology, and phonetics. You will find a number of resources on this page to help you with improving Wikipedia's coverage of linguistics; take your time and have a look around. If you have any questions, please on the discussion page, and we will be happy to help you.

Articles to be created
- Usage labels or "Context labels", see wikt:Wiktionary:ELE#Context_labels. -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 18:21, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- Grammatical meaning and Lexical meaning. Now that write that I'm doubting whether these are the current terms; something akin to subcategorization in the former case and sense and reference in the latter. See, for example this version of Grammaticalization which referred to the two categories of meaning. Compare also Function word and Content word. Cnilep (talk) 03:25, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
- Well-formedness currently redirects to Grammaticality, which in turn is defined as "the quality of a linguistic utterance of being grammatically well-formed", with a piped link to Gradient well-formedness. The more general topic still needs its own article. Cnilep (talk) 11:25, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
- Vocalization (currently a disambiguation page), the change of a consonant into a vowel or semivowel, a form of lenition, in some cases synonymous with approximation. There is an article on l-vocalization, but nothing on the topic in general. This term needs to be distinguished from several other concepts also called "vocalization", such as speech production, voice (phonetics), and consonant voicing and devoicing, and finding another term for the concept that does not have such ambiguity might be helpful. Or perhaps the concept should be described in the article on lenition. — Eru·tuon 23:10, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
Requests for expansion
- verbal case – got an outline, but need examples of verbal morphology claimed to be 'case'
- Auditory phonetics – The article is all of one sentence and really ought to be expanded. Feel free to come help. Wugapodes (talk) 03:41, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Requests for attention
- November 2013 – Linguist expert needed with focus on orthography and spelling:
- Embodied bilingual language is a genuine WP:Orphan that is in Queue 2 at WP:DYK. It needs some links to it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:43, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
Requests for review
- Traditional grammar has been completely rewritten. The article is focused on pedagogical grammar traditions, with a history of the tradition, and allusion to a couple of the critiques that linguists tend to make of such systems. Currently rated start class, mid importance, but review is warranted.
- Conceptual definition This article seems to confuse theories, conceptual definitions, and the colloquial idea that a "theoretical" idea is not based in facts. I am not a linguist and I do not know if a "theoretical definition" is a term in linguistics, but as a scientist a single article on "conceptual definitions" seems more useful.
