Hello there, fellow keyboard clackers! I'm interested in interacting with other writers in order to stay motivated as well as to give/receive feedback. I'm working on a new project at the moment, and at this stage of my writing journey I feel as though it's important to open up to others a bit more and hopefully get some fresh eyes on my work. I'm also looking forward to seeing what other people are writing and discussing. On a random note, I'm also very interested in Linguistics. Right now I'm reading The Language Instinct by Steven Pinker, and it's pretty interesting. I recommend it.
Welcome Vorsher, from a relative newbie. Sadly the closest I ever got to reading about linguistics was "The Languages of Pao" by Jack Vance.
Hi, Bryan! Thanks for the welcome. I haven't read that book, but the wiki page says it's based on the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which is something I know a fair bit about. Was it a good book?
Welcome to the forum. I read Pinker's The Language Instinct as an undergrad. He has a gift for making the subject approachable. Please have a look through the Forum Rules, and the FAQ as a start. Have fun! Wrey
Thanks, Wreybies! Yes, he certainly does. I've read a couple of his books now and I'm surprised by how much he draws me in. As much as I love Linguistics, there are plenty of boring texts on the subject. Okay, I'll go and have a look. Cheers!
