Self-Teaching Resources

[lelandpaul]

A friend of mine runs a linguistics Tumblr and has recently been doing a set of resource posts for protolinguists, i.e. anyone with an interest in linguistics but who haven't yet had any formal education in it (most especially high schoolers who want to teach themselves the subject before reaching university-age). Given that this label probably applies to nearly all conlangers at some point in their development, I thought perhaps people here might find these interesting.

She's done phonetics & phonology, morphology, and syntax so far:

See also her post on the term protolinguist and why she uses it:

These posts are mostly link-roundups of useful material for teaching yourself linguistics, including some PDF textbook excerpts, Youtube series, etc.

Anyone know of any other good link roundups, or links not included in these posts that would be useful? She is planning on doing a semantics post soon, and I've already told her that there's a *lot* missing from the morphology post in terms of common categories of inflection in natlangs.
