Abstract
The thirteen papers contained in this volume derive from a conference on "The Teaching of Linguistics" held at the State University of New York at Stony Brook on November 7 and 8, 1981. This conference was sponsored jointly by the Linguistics Program at SUNY - Stony Brook and the New York State Council on Linguistics (NYSCOL), and marked the tenth anniversary of the founding of NYSCOL at Stony Brook. A conference of the scope of this one, with speakers from the entire country, would have been impossible without the generous financial support of NYSCOL and the Stony Brook Foundation. It was not only the most ambitious of the NYSCOL meetings but also innovative in the sense that the entire meeting was devoted to the exploration of a single issue--one that is central to an essentially academic discipline such as linguistics. For two days, in the idyllic setting of Stony Brook, linguist-teachers discussed various aspects of their profession in tones ranging from the messianic to the conspiratorial, from the elitist to the consumerist. While the papers that follow give only a peek at what transpired at the meeting--there is no way to recapture the lively discussions, not to speak of the international gourmet banquet arranged by the students at Stony Brook--they do raise, we believe, issues of critical importance to linguists as professional teachers.
