[Lingtyp] languages of scholarship

[Christian Lehmann]

Dear all,

thanks for this lively and heterogeneous discussion! It inspired me to 
add a page to my website which I have long been planning to write:

https://www.christianlehmann.eu/ling/ling_meth/metalanguage/index.php?open=language_of_linguistics

If you continue with this discussion, I will, of course, update this text.

PS 1: Those who are not familiar with my style will notice the lack of 
political correctness. Yes.

PS 2: Those who know my earlier publications will note that I have 
learnt something in the matter actually occupying us. In "Der 
Relativsatz", I wrote that examples in certain European languages do not 
need an interlinear gloss, let alone a translation. Meanwhile it has 
become clear to me that (while everybody is, of course, free to learn to 
read as many languages as he desires), I cannot simply expect a Japanese 
or Korean colleague to read those European languages in which I have 
been educated.
