Hi All,<br><br>I thought some of you might find interesting a recent op-ed I wrote for the Huffington Post. It's on language, nationalism and the recent secession petitions in the US:<br><br><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/garethprice/secession-petitions_b_2152763.html?utm_hp_ref=tw">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/garethprice/secession-petitions_b_2152763.html?utm_hp_ref=tw</a><br>
<br>(If that link breaks, then this one is shorter: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/c35d6fn">http://tinyurl.com/c35d6fn</a> )<br>Comments welcome - bearing in mind that some of the nuances of the issues have to be glossed over for a non-academic audience. <br>
<br>There's also a couple of older pieces on language and politics, here:<br><br><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/garethprice/">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/garethprice/</a><br><br>Apologies for the paucity of my contributions to the list this year ... I've been snowed under ...<br>
