[Lingtyp] On making these interesting discussions more public

[Paolo Ramat]

Dear All,
an excellent suggestion! We need to make the point about the long 
discussion, where there have also been many repetitions. Maybe, the 
editor(s) of the e-book could try to summarize some high spots emerging from 
the discussion in order to avoid that contributors go too faraway.

Best,
Paolo

So, now all is needed is one or more editors. Maybe Hedvig
Skirgård could be interested?

Best,

Giorgio
