The Society for Germanic Linguistics (SGL), founded in 1968, is the largest and most active organization in North America to serve the broad community of scholars teaching and researching in Germanic linguistics and philology. The international membership of the SGL embraces all areas of and approaches to Germanic linguistics and philology, from formal syntax and phonology through historical linguistics to textual editing. The Society represents scholars investigating languages such as Modern German, Dutch, Yiddish, the Scandinavian languages, Afrikaans, Pennsylvania German, English before 1500, and Gothic, as well as texts and manuscripts in these languages. The Society publishes the Journal of Germanic Linguistics (JGL), which, starting in 2001, will appear quarterly. The international Germanic Linguistics Annual Conference (GLAC) is held each spring under the auspices of the Society.

Because SGL is the only society which focuses on Germanic linguistics in the North America, this site offers a lot of information about Germanic linguistics.

However, most resources are papers and theses. Therefore, there are no explanations for basic terms or theories. In other words, this homepage is good for advanced students studying linguistics.

The Australian Linguistic Society is the national organization for linguists and linguistics in Australia. Its primary goal is to further interest in and support for linguistics research and teaching in Australia. The Society, established in 1967, publishes the Australian Journal of Linguistics (AJL), a journal of international standing, which includes articles from all areas of linguistics, although having a particular focus on linguistics carried out by Australian linguists or about Australian indigenous languages or Australian English.

The Australian Journal of Linguistics (AJL), the journal of the Australian Linguistic Society, is published twice a year. Tables of contents and abstracts from volume 20 can be found from the AJL homepage on the site of the publisher, Taylor & Francis (Routledge). If the users subscribe to AJL, it should also be possible to view articles from volumes 20 in PDF format on the web; otherwise, they have the option of paying to download a particular article.

This homepage is fairly good for graduate students or professors who are interested in linguistics, but there are no explanations or definitions about basic linguistic terms or theories, which lead to difficulties for non-majoring visitors.
