Inspired by the unique collection of essays from key thinkers in language studies (Becoming a Linguist: Advice from Key Thinkers in Language Studies), the 'Becoming a Linguist' website is a space for scholars and students in linguistics to share stories of their personal and professional journeys, discuss current topics in the field, provide advice and tips for navigating aspects of the field, such as publishing and teaching, and build communities and friendships.
​
As with the volume, our goal is to continue humanizing and historicizing linguistics, and helping aspiring and novice linguists find their way in the field.
​
We invite you to share your stories, and/or engage in current conversations about language and language studies via our Forum. Please direct all your inquiries to the book and website Editors at becomingalinguist@hotmail.com.
