The data found in this edition were compiled by Chanika Dorsey, with assistance from Robert Townsend at the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, Kelly Kang, Joan Maling, and David Foley at the National Science Foundation, and Jonathan Gordon at RTI International. 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.  \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  \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 2019 Report, there was a significant decrease in the number of reporting institutions from 2018 from 102 to 47. Due to this decline, the reported statistical information in the 2019 report, based on the LSA departmental directory, may not be an accurate representation of the linguistics population affiliated with academic departments and programs. The list of participating institutions for the 2019 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 Education 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 2019 as well as at the beginning of 2020, 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 in-kind support from the LSA, in 2007-8 (HDS) and 2012-13 (HDS-2) . The 2012-13 HDS-2 was published in 2014, and select elements of data cov","cbCaids0boH2cX9B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaids0boH2cX9B","pdf",1252993,32,"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 sources does the report use to describe linguistics in higher education?\",\"answer\":\"It draws on the LSA Directory of Linguistics Departments and Programs, federal surveys such as the Survey of Earned Doctorates and the Survey of Doctorate Recipients, Education Department data (IPEDS), and additional survey inputs including work by the American Academy of Arts \\u0026 Sciences.\"},{\"question\":\"Why might the 2019 statistics be less representative than previous years?\",\"answer\":\"The report notes a significant decrease in reporting institutions from 2018 to 2019 (102 to 47), so the directory-based statistics may not accurately represent the broader linguistics population affiliated with academic departments and programs.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the report say about longitudinal and trend reporting?\",\"answer\":\"The LSA presents longitudinal charts for 2013–2018 alongside 2019 statistics, aiming to show change over time.
