[Untitled][edit]

I find this passage from the introduction confusing: "...notions about the value of certain ways of speaking. These aspects are all studied in the field of sociolinguistics, but the idea of language ideology is a relatively recent area of inquiry, which is primarily explored in linguistic anthropology." As written, it almost seems to contradict itself. I believe that the intent is to say that the label language ideology and its focus as a particular area of study is relatively recent and of primary interest within linguistic anthropology, right? (Though, by the way, I don't think either Wolfram or Schilling-Estes call themselves linguistic anthropologists.) Therefore, wouldn't it be more precise to say, "but the study of language ideology as such is a relatively recent area of inquiry," etc.? Cnilep (talk) 13:43, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Linguistic profiling[edit]

The reference doesn't say anything about language ideology, at least insofar as identifying it as causing discrimination via linguistic profiling - it identifies such discrimination as racially/ethnically based, with linguistic profiling enabling the discrimination (but with linguistic profiling not being considered discriminatory in and of itself).

Capitalization[edit]

Why are subsection and sub-subsection headings written with every important word capitalized? Normally such headings use sentence case (capitalize only the first word).--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 07:12, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Louise Pratt is a scholar[edit]

A user at IP 87.113.180.161 has placed the template {{who}} on a sentence reading, "Scholars have subsequently used...." Since the cited author is a scholar, I believe this template is unwarranted. However, the user reversed my edits to the page, and I wish to avoid edit warring. (See also comments at ~~User talk:Cnilep#My edits~~ User talk:87.113.180.161.)

I don't even understand the objection. Is this WP:IDONTLIKEIT? If the IP user is claiming that it's WP:SYNTH, fine, but that has nothing to do with weasel words. Is the objection that Cnilep only found one source, and so it should be "A scholar [has said this]"? Still, the "who" tag is inappropriate, given that it's answered immediately... by the reference. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 02:13, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
