LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS: RESOURCES:
Languages of the World
The main purpose of this website is to provide information
about the language families of the world and their most
important and populous members, including their history,
status, their linguistic characteristics, and their writing in as
simple and concise a way as possible. We base this website
on the belief that all languages have evolved from the need
of human beings to express their thoughts, beliefs, and
desires, that all languages meet the social, psychological,
and survival needs of people who use them. In this sense,
all languages, no matter how small and remote, are equal.
All equally deserve study because all of them provide
valuable insights into human nature.

EDUCATION: LEARNING :
REFERENCE: ENCYCLOPEDIAS:
Semiotics Encyclopedia Online
It will provide in-depth articles written by experts in a great variety of disciplines
bearing upon the ways in which organisms in general, and humans in particular,
process information, discover or construct meaning, represent and share their
knowledge, interact through the mediation of signs and symbols that change
over time, and elaborate diverse cultures and systems of thought. It will offer
articles documenting the historical development of semiotics while emphasizing
that this variegated epistemological movement is still in the making.
The Semiotics Encyclopedia Online will endeavor to bring into focus important
advances in the sciences, which are bound to have an impact on our
understanding of the issues which have been traditionally raised by semiotics.
It will also critically reexamine the basic concepts and models that form
contemporary semiotic literacy.
