I'm currently looking round for academic or semi-academic (e.g. "popular science") texts available online which I can use. I'd be grateful for any suggestions, especially in the following areas: - the politics of auxlangs, especially Esperanto; - linguistic objections to constructed languages (e.g. the hard-line Chomskyan view); - studies of change in constructed languages, especially studies of native speakers of constructed languages. doi ki'e robin.tr To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
