Language Log (U Penn)
http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/
From the Wikipedia: “Language Log is a collaborative language blog maintained by University of Pennsylvania phonetician Mark Liberman.
“The site is updated daily at the whims of the contributors, and most of the posts are on language use in the media and popular culture. Google search results are frequently used as a corpus to test hypotheses about language. Other popular topics are the descriptivism/prescriptivism debate and linguistics-related news items. The site has also occasionally held contests in which visitors attempt to identify an obscure language.
“Language Log is now one of the most popular linguistics blogs in the blogosphere. As of August 2007, it receives an average of about 9,500 visits per day.”
