The Theory and a Language (tTAAL)
James McCloskey
on Working on Irish

''For the linguist, this has the welcome consequence that the complex
issues created by interference from prescriptive pressures, do not, in
the main, arise. The patterns of syntactic micro-variation that
distinguish the various dialects one from another are intricate and
beautiful, a gold mine for the comparative syntactician.''

Column
Neil Smith
on Sneering at the arts

''This is all good healthy fun, where sneering is probably in order,
but it is important to separate the pretentious chaff from some rather
good wheat: not all arts subjects are so benighted, and I believe that
providing insight in a complex domain is suffi-cient defence for any
discipline to be studied in Universities.''
