Language is a peer-reviewed quarterly academic journal published by the Linguistic Society of America since 1925. It covers all aspects of linguistics, focusing on the area of theoretical linguistics. Its current editor-in-chief is Andries Coetzee (University of Michigan). Under the editorship of Yale linguist Bernard Bloch, Language was the vehicle for publication of many of the important articles of American structural linguistics during the second quarter of the 20th century, and was the journal in which many of the most important subsequent developments in linguistics played themselves out. One of the most famous articles to appear in Language was the young Noam Chomsky's scathing 1959 review of the book Verbal Behavior by the behaviorist cognitive psychologist B. F. Skinner. This article argued that behaviorist psychology, then a dominant paradigm in linguistics (as in psychology at large), had no hope of explaining complex phenomena like language. It was followed two years later by another book review that is almost as famous—Robert B. Lees's glowingly positive assessment of Chomsky's own 1957 book Syntactic Structures, which put Chomsky and his generative grammar on the intellectual map as the successor to American structuralism. By far the most cited article in Language is the 1974 description on the turn-taking system of ordinary conversation by the founders of conversation analysis—Harvey Sacks, Emanuel Schegloff, and Gail Jefferson. This article describes the socially normative system of rules that accounts for the complex turn-taking behaviour of participants in conversation, demonstrating the system in detail using recordings of actual conversation. Language continues to be an influential journal in the field of linguistics: it is ranked twenty-fourth out of 184 in the "linguistics" category in the 2018 Journal Citation Reports, with an impact factor of 1.899.
Baddeley's model of working memory is a model of human memory proposed by Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch in 1974, in an attempt to present a more accurate model of primary memory (often referred to as short-term memory). Working memory splits primary memory into multiple components, rather than considering it to be a single, unified construct. Baddeley and Hitch proposed their three-part working memory model as an alternative to the short-term store in Atkinson and Shiffrin's 'multi-store' memory model (1968). This model is later expanded upon by Baddeley and other co-workers to add a fourth component, and has become the dominant view in the field of working memory. However, alternative models are developing, providing a different perspective on the working memory system. The original Baddeley and Hitch model was composed of three main components: the central executive which acts as a supervisory system and controls the flow of information from and to its subsystems: the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad. The phonological loop stores verbal content, whereas the visuo-spatial sketchpad caters to visuo-spatial data. Both subsystems only function as short-term storage centers. Baddeley and Hitch's argument for the distinction of two domain-specific subsystems in the older model was derived from experimental findings with dual-task paradigms. Performance of two simultaneous tasks requiring the use of two separate perceptual domains (i.e. a visual and a verbal task) is nearly as efficient as performance of the tasks individually. In contrast, when a person tries to carry out two tasks simultaneously that use the same perceptual domain, performance is less efficient than when performing the tasks individually. A fourth component of Baddeley's model, the episodic buffer, was added 25 years later to complement the central executive system. It is considered a limited-capacity system that provides temporary storage of information by conjoining information from the subsidiary systems, and long-term memory, into a single episodic representation. This was renamed in 2026 to the awareness buffer to better represent its function.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
