Probable Languages: Mirar el lenguaje con ojos nuevos
http://probablelanguages.blogspot.com/2013/02/mirar-el-lenguaje-con-ojos-nuevos.html
If a martian graced our planet. it would notice that we humans communicate in spite of the 6000-odd languages, and isn´t it a wonder? Lunes, 4 de febrero de 2013. Mirar el lenguaje con ojos nuevos. La función metalingüística se da de forma decisiva cuando uno intenta amaestrar una segunda lengua, aunque ahí contamos con el bagaje de la primera. Este hecho, en principio irrelevante, nos permite interpretar e internalizar estructuras nuevas y sorprendentes por contraposición o contraste. Hace días intentab...

If a martian graced our planet. it would notice that we humans communicate in spite of the 6000-odd languages, and isn´t it a wonder? Miércoles, 6 de junio de 2012. La sintaxis de la escuela. Mi hija mayor va a sexto. El otro día estudiaba para el examen de Castellano y me pidió que la ayudara con una pequeña parte de sintaxis que el profesor había introducido a final del curso. Se trataba de decir qué es cada parte de la oración. Yo debía ponerle algunas oraciones y ella me las "etiquetaba". Sonríe, tri...

Probable Languages: julio 2014
http://probablelanguages.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
If a martian graced our planet. it would notice that we humans communicate in spite of the 6000-odd languages, and isn´t it a wonder? Viernes, 11 de julio de 2014. Out of the language tree. The leaves float down. Whirling, they criss and cross,. Writing new patterns on the ground,. Slowly coding this year´s messages. Below, the wadded strata. Distil and mature old meanings. And down and among the roots,. Half-forgotten, skeletal memories. Mutted by the loam,. Stir in their sleep,. Bud withing bud, dream.

Language Continuity: A song in Iberian
http://languagecontinuity.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-song-in-iberian.html
A song in Iberian. It's true, I haven't published any posts in the last few months, and the main reason is that I've been busy with other things. For example, I've written and directed my first short film, and now I'm starting the production of a play that I wrote some years ago. But anyway, I'm back on Language Continuity. My re-activation coincides with an interesting event that will take place in my city ( Valencia. You can find the programme here. Joan Ferrer i Jané. And John T. Koch. Which is also w...

Language Continuity: Universals of human communication
http://languagecontinuity.blogspot.com/2010/01/universals-of-human-communication.html
Universals of human communication. For many years, linguists (especially in the US) have discussed concepts such as Lang. UG), in an attempt to find features or patterns shared by all languages in the world. The idea seems interesting but. is there anything really 'univers. In a recent article. I personally think it is one of the most irrelevant concepts ever devised in linguistics. So it seems that there might be nothing really 'universal' about human language, but what about human communication? In our...

Language Continuity: Languages, genes and cultures
http://languagecontinuity.blogspot.com/2012/04/languages-genes-and-cultures.html
Languages, genes and cultures. As you may know, in this blog I have often criticised many aspects of traditional historical linguistics, e.g. the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European (PIE), including the imaginary set of laryngeals. One of my 'favourite' topics indeed) or the generally accepted chronology of IE expansion. I have written many posts criticizing these things, inspired by the work of some authors, like Mario Alinei. As I said, I'll publish more posts getting into the details of this importa...

Language Continuity: Colin Renfrew. The Anatolian Hypothesis
http://languagecontinuity.blogspot.com/2009/05/colin-renfrew-anatolian-hypothesis.html
Colin Renfrew. The Anatolian Hypothesis. For many years, basically until the second half of the 20th century, the study of Indo-European (IE) was exclusively in the hands of linguists. They analyzed ancient languages, devising laws and family trees, and imagined the emergence and expansion of Indo-European as an event which involved a series of massive migrations or invasions occurring (what a coincidence! There’s no doubt that Renfrew’s theories about IE origins are an important step forwa. Well yes, if...

Imagining the birth of language. One of the blogs I ususally follow is Babel's Dawn. Published by Edmund Blair Bolles.

And has recently attended the Ways to Protolanguage. Poland), publishing a series of interesting posts about the most remarkable proposals made in both events. In the last post.
