Sorry,  I said that &quot;pretentiously&quot; because I&#39;ve noticed that is how some non-native English speakers (as well as some people from England) introduce themselves. It seems like an old world way of introduction, like, this is what people call me. I like to think about how our names form us and vice-versa. So my interest in linguistics is somewhat metaphysical but also very geographical, as geography is sort of my main pursuit. So I&#39;m interested in geographic distribution and origins of language (and place names!). I&#39;m more drawn towards words than grammar but I would like  to know more about grammar.</p> <p><a href="http://www2.evergreen.edu/scienceoflanguage/introduce-yrself">read more</a></p> http://www2.evergreen.edu/scienceoflanguage/introduce-yrself#comment Sat, 11 Oct 2008 21:39:46 -0700 trojus10 152 at http://www2.evergreen.edu/scienceoflanguage
