>I recently published a lengthy discussion article on the "theories" of the
mixed-languages-and-lingua-franca school of uralistics on my website. The
main reason for publishing it on the internet rather than on paper, is that
in my opinion, as I will argue in the paper, all what needs to be said on
the subject has basically already been said, not only during the last five
or six years, but decades before that as well. Paper - made from trees, real
living creatures -should be used for more necessary and serious research
than to re-argue the basics of (Uralic) historical linguistics. Nevertheless
arguing exactly that seems to be necessary. It would be dishonest to deny
that it's fun as well.
