Analytical linguistics

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The term "analytical linguistics" has been applied to any number of different pursuits within the field of linguistics. Sova's work may or may not be seminal in this field: the current article gives no indications either way. In either case, Sova's work can be described in the article about her. Having an entire article with the title "Analytical Linguistics" dedicated solely to her theory gives the incorrect impression that hers is the only theory. Rewriting the article to include all senses of the term would be impractical given the wide range of different pursuits that have been termed "analytical linguistics".

Delete Article has no sources and really needs to be wikified. Would be best to start over. —Ed!^(talk) 15:29, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This theory lacks notability because it lacks a substantial number of independent peer reviewed journal articles and books related to it. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prsaucer1958 (talk • contribs) 23:05, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for lack of notability. The article summarizes a book and a handful of articles by a single author, Ljubov Sova, but the theory developed in those pieces has not, as far as I can tell, had a major impact on linguistics or philology. I can't find any papers citing Dr. Sova's work. On the other hand, if there is anything relevant which can be supported and verified with reliable sources, it might be merged to L. Z. Sova.
