<DIV>Vaste programme!, dear colleague. This is so everywhere in linguistics.
This depends on the very nature of the discipline (a proto-science, in G.-G-
Granger's terms), not on the malignity of individuals. Il faut s'y rendre!
Everything is typology, nothing is typology!</DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear Typology colleagues, reading journals on
typology I came to a conclusion that different linguists and edotors
understand typology in their own way. It especially concerns editors who may
return a manuscript on the pretext that it is not on typology. Therefore, it
occurred to me to discuss the term "typology" in order to realise how it is
understood in modern linguistics. Looking forward to receiving your
definitions to <A href="mailto:yutamb@mail.ru">yutamb@mail.ru</A> Yours
sincerely Yuri Tambovtsev</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
