Subject:  Names of Romance languages

Dear romanists and Romance-speakers,
For Linguasphere project we want to gather names of Romance languages in
these languages (autoglottonyms). If you are speaker of or specialist in
certain Romance language or dialect, please write name of this language in
this language. If there's some orthography for it let the name follow it, if
there's not, please use transcription (for example, as indicated in the end
of this message). If we know autoglottonyms we give them after '-' (hyphen),
and we don't know any for languages marked with '?'. Also if you know
another autoglottonym or you see a mistake please inform us too.

Subject:  parts of speech

Greetings all

As part of my research, I am investigating 'universal properties' of
language.

My question is:

Many languages are described in terms of having parts of speech, but
how indigenous is this tagging? Is it a true reflection of the
structure of the language or simply something forcibly applied by
foreign (especially classical mediterannean) grammarians?

I am aware of that Doinysius Thrax is attributed with the concept in
100BC but did the concept also evolve independently in cultures
isolated from such influences?


Cheers,

John
