Linguistics flowchart: What field?

This is floating around fb at the moment (yes, click to embiggen). ... I saw it first on the Studentische Tagung Sprachwissenschaft page. The poster itself is from Cascadilla, the only source a linguist needs to stay stocked with excellent posters, t-shirts, bumper stickers and gifts. This is on their CafePress link as a poster. I only today saw the 'Loose lips make bilabial trills' poster. 


But somehow, the chart doesn't help me ... I want to do basically all of it.

It's nearly perfect, but I think the chart has seriously underestimated the number of funny symbols in Syntax.

Definitely!

The problem with the flowchart is that you have to say 'no' to stuff. I mean, sometimes I like one thing more than the other, but there's not much in there I don't like!
