"Comparative and Historical Linguistics"
"For those interested in Historical and Comparative linguistics,
including studying languages and cultures, _or they're history_."
Who's history? The languages and cultures, knowledge of which will
otherwise be lost? Or those who are uninterested in this field, whose
existence will be terminated?
Unacceptable ambiguity, IMO.
