Since so many of us linguistic anthropologists do "straight" sociocultural

performance in four areas: teaching effectiveness; scholarship, research,
creative achievement and professional development; service to the
University; and public service and service to the community. Although
tenure can be granted at any time, contract provisions specify that "the

probationary service and credited service, if any. Any deviation from the
