You absolutely can do this (unless I am misunderstanding your point in which case, my apologies). That's why there are dozens of journals in things like linguistic typology and language variation and change. There are linguists whose e

Having lived in Chicago and SF, one big difference is how the problem areas are distributed geographically. In Chicago, the high foot-traffic areas (eg the Loop, Logan Square, Wicker Park) where tourists are likely to end up are very nice;

I think there was some page-refreshing asynchrony here, either on your end or mine. But I appreciate that you attempted to correct me, so thank you.
