[Lingtyp] On making these interesting discussions more public

[Hedvig Skirgård]

Why that's very flattering Giorgio and I'm much interested in these issues,
I don't think I'm right for it. I think Mark Dingemanse and Nick Enfield
does a great job as editors and that a special issue of this kind could fit
well into their series, as I understand it.

Perhaps we should hear from LT as well?
