Speculative Grammarian Volume CLV, Number 2 November 2008 For your particular cultivation and for the common diversion of linguists far and wide, another issue of Speculative Grammarian is now available. This issue includes: spellbinding all-new articles concerning the ever-present dangers of framework psychosis, and the collision of Murphy’s Law and fieldwork; another installment of the Cartoon Theories of Linguistics; another Linguistically-Themed Pseudo-Nihonese HanjieLinguru; and the usual high-quality collection of letters from our readers, and more... Next time (November 2008), we will have another all-new issue of Speculative Grammarian.       Read the current issue. Read back issues.

We have recently completed our transition from the real world to online: we have finally finished digitizing the tattered remains of our once glorious Archive, re-publishing each issue on the internet. Our new mission is two-fold: First, we will continue to publish the best works of satirical linguistics available anywhere—so we are, of course, looking for submissions for upcoming issues of SpecGram. Second, we seek to transform other satirical linguistics resources from their current dead-tree-format to a more readily disseminated bit-based format. Our current project is the conversion of the anthologies Lingua Pranca and Son of Lingua Pranca

I hope you enjoy your visit with us. We hope you’ll come back again soon. There are always several improvements in the works, and we always appreciate your suggestions and ideas. —Trey Jones Managing Editor, Speculative Grammarian
