Linguistics

• Historical Evolution of Phonology - Language changes can be been looked at as 'sound changes', but this is just looking at the phonetic changes a language goes through. There are problems with looking at historical change like this, as can be seen by theories of phonology, theories of how humans learn language, and thus how language is relearned by every person, and even by evidence from looking comparitively at certain languages and making an attempt to relate them historically.
• The semantics of the phrases "not to mention" and .. other things that I'll remember later and put here; thus the purpose of this being here.

Yiddish

• Is Yiddish an Eastern Germanic language? - I don't think so, but I'm gathering evidence for and against here.
• The Weirdnesses of Yiddish Indirect Questions - Why they're strange, and an addressing of L2-acquisition issues that have to do with this.
