Glottopedia is a comprehensive web-based free-content encyclopedia of linguistics that any linguist can contribute to. It is modeled on Wikipedia, a general-knowledge encyclopedia for nonspecialist readers. Each registered user may create new articles or modify existing ones. But there are three important differences:

  • Authors of Glottopedia articles should be trained linguists or students with a profound linguistic background.
  • For this reason, authors have to create an account with their real names and log in before working on an article; in contrast to Wikipedia, anonymous editing is not allowed (in this regard, Glottopedia works like Citizendium).
  • Articles in Glottopedia don't have to be intelligible to all. Some of them will refer to highly specialized phenomena and concepts, which will be relevant for only a small number of specialists.

History of Glottopedia

Glottopedia was started on 27 May 2007. It arose as a merger of two earlier projects with very similar goals, WikiLingua at the University of Trier (created in 2005), and Linguipedia at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig (created in 2006). Now that Glottopedia has been officially launched, these two earlier projects are no longer alive.

Contributing projects

The following online dictionaries of linguistic terminology will soon be copied into Glottopedia, as part of an agreement with the authors:
