Hoi,<br>Linguists are real people .. thank <include your favourite deity here> for that. I know several linguists and as a group they are likeable people.. When I talk about real life purposes, I mean things like writing a shopping note, chatting on IRC even writing a novel. Linguistics studies the use of language and this may lead to real life conclusions. Linguistics is the study of, not language itself. <br>
Thanks,<br> Gerard<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/1/15 Mike Morgan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mwmosaka@gmail.com">mwmosaka@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
