<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>thanks for this lively and heterogeneous discussion! It inspired
me to add a page to my website which I have long been planning to
write:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.christianlehmann.eu/ling/ling_meth/metalanguage/index.php?open=language_of_linguistics">https://www.christianlehmann.eu/ling/ling_meth/metalanguage/index.php?open=language_of_linguistics</a><br>
</p>
<p>If you continue with this discussion, I will, of course, update
this text.</p>
<p>Christian</p>
<p>PS 1: Those who are not familiar with my style will notice the
lack of political correctness. Yes.</p>
<p>PS 2: Those who know my earlier publications will note that I
have learnt something in the matter actually occupying us. In "Der
Relativsatz", I wrote that examples in certain European languages
do not need an interlinear gloss, let alone a translation.
Meanwhile it has become clear to me that (while everybody is, of
course, free to learn to read as many languages as he desires), I
cannot simply expect a Japanese or Korean colleague to read those
European languages in which I have been educated.<br>
