LL-L 'Linguistics' 2007.02.06 (04) [E]<br><br><div><font face="Arial" size="2">Ahhh....Gabriele, your modesty underwhelms
me. Really! </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">If your 'big picture' doesn't include
linguistics
then you have many delightful discoveries ahead of you in life.
Imagine
all the families, genus, species and other natural classifications you
can now
invent on your own time. Fantastic! Let us know how it all
turns out
and how well you are accepted in your technical world community of
natural
science.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Also Gabriele, as to Ron's place
in the big
picture, may I suggest that you actually read 'the Wren story' for the
meaning/content of the story. Methinks you will see
yourself as one
of the characters, no? Please respect Ron's request to drop this
silly
subject.</font></div><br></span>

anonymous
posting, right? And an insulting one, right? This topic isn't silly
IMHO. I have
to second Gabrielle's alledged intention, i. e. there is such a thing
like
<em>wrong</em> use of standard grammar. Dem Bauern sein Haus may be
colloquial
Hessian, but it's definitely wrong high German. In LS it would be de bûr
sîn
hûs. Current LS has no dative case, as far as I know. </font></p>

kanak-sprak
was coined by Feridun Zainoglu who is an author of Turkish provenance in
