Welcome!
Edward Sapir, by Florence Hendershot, from http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/biomems/esapir.html
Of course, I’m interested in culture patterns, linguistic included. All I claim is that their consistencies and spatial temporal persistences can be, and ultimately should be explained in terms of humble psychological formations with particular emphasis on interpersonal relations. I have no consciousness of whatsoever of being revolutionary or of losing an interest in what is generally phrased in an impersonal way. Quite the contrary, I feel rather like a physicist who feels that the immensities of the atom are not unrelated to the immensities of interstellar space (Sapir to Kroeber 1938, in Darnell 2001: 109)

Sign me up, Leila!
I'll be particularly interested in issues involving sign language, ethnographic & linguistic fieldwork, and how linguistic anthropology can help in educational policies and practices.
Is anyone out there interested in the application of historical linguistics to prehistory (population movements, palaeoecology, agriculture, social structure, etc.)?
Richard, you will receive an invitation shortly.
Frank, do you know Pam Innes at the University of Wyoming? I sat in on a very interesting class on the linguistic and archeological approaches to the origins of various Indo-European groups. Have dropped her an e-mail and with luck she will show up as I think historical material would be a really interesting contribution. Drop me a note at the address in the profile if you would like to be added and start the topic.
Thank you for adding the Museum Anthropology Blog to the Linguistic Anthropology Blog's "blogroll." I look forward to following developments here and to participating when I can.
Thanks for being here Jason and happy to have the Museum Anthropology blog listed!
It'd be interesting to use this blog as both a way to make research material available and as a tool in the ethnography of online communication. Leila's recent project to record material about our discipline could have a blogged dimension. Ethnographic blogging and blogging ethnography are becoming quite useful.
Apparently, those of us on the Blogger beta program can't use our Blogger accounts to register as authors on regular Blogger blogs. But I'd be interested in collaborating with this blog in the near future.

I would like to be signed up for the blog. Thanks for setting this up.
I will be likely to post on issues involving the Spanish language and the mixing of English and Spanish in the United States and on verbal art and poetics.
Leila:
Sorry about that last post. I was accidentally logged in as my wife, who had just posted to our wedding blog. This is Pete Haney.
Hi Pete, I've sent you an invite but not sure if you'll be able to a) get it or b) accept it because of the swop over from regular to beta blogger. Let me know what happens!
all best,
Leila
Good suggestion. How does one post a RSS feed?
Leila,
I'd like to sign up as a contributor to this blog. I'm especially interested in the ethnography of legal discourse.
Thanks very much for setting this up.
