userline.ru>Dear romanists and Romance-speakers, For Linguasphere project we want to gather names of Romance languages in these languages (autoglottonyms). If you are speaker of or specialist in certain Romance language or dialect, please write name of this language in this language. If there's some orthography for it let the name follow it, if there's not, please use transcription (for example, as indicated in the end of this message). If we know autoglottonyms we give them after '-' (hyphen), and we don't know any for languages marked with '?'. Also if you know another autoglottonym or you see a mistake please inform us too.

comp.leeds.ac.uk>Greetings all As part of my research, I am investigating 'universal properties' of language. My question is: Many languages are described in terms of having parts of speech, but how indigenous is this tagging? Is it a true reflection of the structure of the language or simply something forcibly applied by foreign (especially classical mediterannean) grammarians? I am aware of that Doinysius Thrax is attributed with the concept in 100BC but did the concept also evolve independently in cultures isolated from such influences?
