The data found in this edition were compiled by May F. Chung, with assistance from Robert Townsend at the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, Dan Foley at the National Science Foundation, and Katherine Hale from the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics. The LSA is grateful for the assistance of its Committee on the Status of Women in Linguistics (COSWL) in collecting data on the gender demographics of students and faculty from a select group of linguistics departments. The LSA also wishes to thank the scores of linguistics departments and programs that updated information for their respective institutions, and the thousands of LSA members who have provided complete information via their membership profile.  \nTable of Contents  \nIntroduction 4  \nOverview of Trends in Linguistics 5  \nData Sources 5  \nLSA Directory 5  \nLSA Membership Database 6  \nCOSWL Departmental Survey 6  \nGovernment-Sponsored Surveys 6  \nProfessional Societies 7  \nEmployment 7  \nJob Types 10  \nJob Type by Gender 12  \nSalaries 14  \nDegree Production in Linguistics 15  \nNumber of Degrees Awarded by Gender 18  \nStudent Enrollment and Financial Support 18  \nEthnicity and Citizenship 20  \nGraduate Student Teaching 21  \nProgram Specializations 22  \nAppendix 24  \nNorth American Institutions Providing Any Data on Students or Faculty in 2016 (n=91) 24  \nIntroduction  \nFor many years, the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) has maintained a Directory of Linguistics Departments and Programs, which has included those academic institutions located in the United States and Canada. The print Directory was a well-regarded resource for tracking basic information like: language and sub-field specializations, student enrollment, number and type of degrees conferred, number and rank of faculty positions, and related demographic data for students and faculty. As the Directory evolved into an online resource, it became more difficult to produce an Annual Report with comprehensive information for all of the North American institutions because fewer departments and programs provided data to the LSA. A primary objective of the 2012 LSA website redesign was to develop a much more robust Directory of Linguistics Departments and Programs. This redesigned Directory would serve a number of potential audiences: prospective graduate students, prospective faculty, and administrators seeking benchmarking data. With this overhaul complete, the LSA then embarked on extensive outreach efforts to enlist the participation of “departmental contacts” in order to update the listings for individual institutions.  \nFor the 2016 Report, there was an increase in the number of departments reporting on faculty and gender over 2015, but a decrease in the total number of institutions providing any data. The increase in gender information provided is likely to stem from the data collection efforts conducted by the LSA’s Committee on the Status of Women in Linguistics (COSWL) . The list of total participating institutions for the 2016 Report is located in the Appendix.  \nThe LSA has also monitored and/or participated in a number of national (U.S. ) surveys that track the status of linguistics in higher education. The National Science Foundation (NSF) conducts and reports data from two relevant surveys: The Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) and the Survey of Doctoral Recipients. The federal Department of Education conducts and reports data from an annual survey of~4,200 post-secondary institutions. The most recent available data from all three of these surveys are included in this report.
