E-mail this
message to a friend Greetings, Linguists!
The February 2018
issue of Speculative Grammarian—the premier scholarly journal featuring research in
the neglected field of satirical linguistics—is now available online for your
browsing pleasure.
http://specgram.com/CLXXX.4/
The editors and publishers of Speculative Grammarian are pleased to
announce that another issue of our esteemed journal is now available. This issue
offers many excellent features, including a clarification of confusions among
homophonic aphorisms, extraterrestrial contact evidence in English function words,
and the release of two new online tools that support advanced roman numerology and
orthographic perplexity, respectively—along with the usual collection of letters
from our readers, limericks, linguistic propaganda, puzzles, and more...
Enjoy!

http://SpecGram.com P.S.: We’re
always looking for new contributors! We’re seeking witty, erudite papers in
satirical linguistics that demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the field of
linguistics as a whole, a subtle wit, and a refined sense of written language.
However, as those kinds of papers are pretty hard to come by, we’re *accepting*
papers that are moderately clever, can be edited into some passable form, and don’t
rely too heavily on bodily function humor. More information is available at
