OT: the power of English

[Wilson Gray]

"URALIC AND SIBERIAN LEXICOLOGY AND LEXICOGRAPHY"

"We are pleased to announce that the 4th Mikola Conference on the
Lexicology and Lexicography of the Uralic and Siberian languages will be
held in Szeged, Hungary, November 14-15, 2014, and will be hosted by the
Department of Finno-Ugric Linguistics of the University of Szeged."

"_The official language of the conference is English. Abstracts and
handouts should be prepared in English. The papers are to be delivered in
English. Please note that no interpreting service is foreseen._"


Despite theTV ad for sump-nutha WRT someone studying Cantonese when he
should have been studying Mandarin, implying the fall of English as the
international language.
