Article Evaluation

- I evaluated the Pragmatics article.

- I found all of the information to be relevant to the topic.

- The article was pretty neutral. It did a good job of providing a lot of information about Silverstein's arguments related to pure indexes without actually choosing a side.

- In terms of viewpoints, there seemed to be equal representation.

- This article would probably lose a few credibility points because of a lack of citations to reliable sources. Some of the sections, like Origins of the Field and Areas of Interest, barely have any sources cited at all.

- However, the parts that were cited and referenced correctly seem to come from reliable sources like Cambridge, Harvard, and Oxford University.

- Most of the references seem to be dated from the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's. It could probably benefit from some more updated information.

- This page is a part of the Psychology, Philosophy, and Linguistics / Theoretical Linguistics / Applied Lingustics Wikiprojects.

- This article discusses pragmatics with less examples than we talk about in class. They also use more terminology. I think that this could be a bit difficult for someone without a background knowledge in linguistics for understand, which would make the article less useful to learners.

- I left my question on the first part of the talk page.
