How are the humanities referred to in newspapers, magazines, and other media in the U.S. compared to the U.K. (and other Commonwealth nations)? Especially, what from a comparative perspective is the overlap/difference between the terms "humanities," "liberal arts," "arts," and "the arts"?
The following is a preliminary study focused on comparing linguistic usage in the U.S. and U.K. It is conducted by Alan Liu with assistance from other members of the WE1S research team and the co-leaders of 4Humanities.org. The study will be extended and revised as WE1S research continues. (For a PDF version of this document, click on the "Printable version" link at the bottom of this page.)
