\nAcknowledgements  \nThis sixth edition of the Annual Report was prepared by a team of LSA student interns and staff, working from the original report prepared by Lauren Friedman and edited by Alyson Reed, LSA Executive Director. The data found in this edition were compiled by Meghan Birch and Jacob West, with assistance from Robert Townsend at the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, Benjamin Schmidt at Northeastern University, and Karen Hamrick at the National Science Foundation. 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 profiles.  \nThe Linguistic Society of America  \nThe State of Linguistics in Higher Education Annual Report 2018  \nPage 3  \nTable of Contents  \nIntroduction 4  \nOverview of Trends in Linguistics 5  \nData Sources 5  \nLSA Directory 5  \nLSA Membership Database 6  \nGovernment-Sponsored Surveys 7  \nProfessional Societies 7  \nEmployment 7  \nJob Types 10  \nJob Type by Gender 14  \nSalaries 17  \nDegree Production in Linguistics 19  \nNumber of Degrees Awarded by Gender 24  \nStudent Enrollment and Financial Support 25  \nDegrees by Ethnicity 28  \nGraduate Student Teaching 30  \nProgram Specializations 31  \nAppendix 32  \nThe Linguistic Society of America  \nThe State of Linguistics in Higher Education Annual Report 2018  \nPage 4  \nIntroduction  \nFor many years, the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) has maintained a Directory of Linguistics Departments and Programs, which has included primarily academic institutions located in the United States and Canada. The print directory was a well-regarded resource for tracking basic information such as language and subfield 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 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 multiple 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 2018 Report, there was a very small increase in the number of reporting institutions from 2017 from 101 to 102. The list of participating institutions for the 2018 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) reports data from two relevant surveys: The Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) and the Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR) . The federal Department of Education conducts and reports data from an annual survey, which is called the Integrated Postsecondary Data System (IPEDS), from over 7,500 post-secondary institutions. The most recent available data from all three of these surveys, towards the end of 2018 as well as at the beginning of 2019, are included in this report. In addition to these federal data initiatives, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences conducted a Humanities Departmental Survey (HDS), with financial and inkind support from the LSA, in 2007-8 (HDS) and 2012-13 (HDS-2) . The 2012-13 HDS-2 was published ","cbCaiefGKNaB4w5W","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiefGKNaB4w5W","pdf",1484231,33,"English","# Introduction\n## Overview of Trends in Linguistics\n## Data Sources\n## LSA Directory\n## LSA Membership Database\n## Government-Sponsored Surveys\n## Professional Societies\n## Employment\n## Job Types\n## Job Type by Gender\n## Salaries\n## Degree Production in Linguistics\n## Number of Degrees Awarded by Gender\n## Student Enrollment and Financial Support\n## Degrees by Ethnicity\n## Graduate Student Teaching\n## Program Specializations\n# Appendix","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Linguistic Society of America’s Annual Report 2018?\",\"answer\":\"It compiles and analyzes data on linguistics in higher education, using directory information, national survey results, and LSA membership data to describe trends and benchmarks.\"},{\"question\":\"Which major data sources are used in the report?\",\"answer\":\"The report draws on NSF surveys (SED and SDR), the Department of Education’s IPEDS, and additional work such as the American Academy of Arts \\u0026 Sciences humanities departmental survey, plus LSA membership profile charts.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report handle longitudinal analysis and comparisons?\",\"answer\":\"It presents longitudinal charts for the first six years of the Annual Report (2013–2017) alongside 2018 statistics to show change over time.\"}]","The State of Linguistics in Higher Education - Annual Report 2018 - Sixth Edition - Issued February 2019 | PDF",1792051428,83]
