The study of language has been part of anthropology since the discipline started in the 1ate 1870s. This site is a place for linguistic anthropologists to post their work and discuss important events and trends in the field.
There is an interesting "Short Take" in the May/June 2008 issue of the Columbia Journalism Review on pop star names. Music critic Chris Faraone asks why rappers are routinely identified by their given names, while performers in other genres are identified by their stage names.

I was searching for that edition of 2008 issue of the Columbia Journalism Review on pop star names.Perfect! I will use it to do my homework online and I will use those interesting examples of names in my research work.
