The American Anthropological Association, which has organized itself into
an agglomeration of sub-organizations, has a group for 'Professional
Anthropologists'. Perhaps the British Association for Applied Linguistics
(BAAL) or its American counterpart should provide an umbrella for
"Professional Sociolinguists'. A number of sociolinguists are active in
the Anthropology and Education and the Anthropological Linguistics sections
of the AAA, and some sociolinguists have participated in the American
Educational Research Association (AERA), though I don't know whether they
ever constituted a separate interest group.
