Just a quick comment on this: Our new BA in Anthropology here at
North Florida has LIN 3010, "Principles of Linguistics," as one of
the required core courses in the program. We will also have a
senior-level course of the "language and culture" sort, which I have
to design. So, linguistics is still out there...
