To a Lojban enthusiast, I would recommend James D. McCawley's _Everything linguists always wanted to know about logic_, which many of us here admire (tho John Cowan is also a Quine fan). --And. > -----Original Message----- > From: seidensticker@msn.com [mailto:seidensticker@msn.com] > Sent: 25 March 2001 17:37 > To: lojban@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [lojban] Linguistics study > > > I marvel at the depth of linguistic knowledge of some of this group's > participants.
