I guess i'll introduce myself also. I'm 21 and i live in Davis, CA, USA. I'm a college student at UC Davis and spend my free time on conlanging and my girlfriend. I'm a linguistics and computer science double major, so i have a little background in linguistics. As far as what to do on the list, i'm interested in both discussing lexical semantics and learning katanda (but i can't really start that myself for another couple weeks). Lexical semantics is one of the inspirational sources for my conlang Minyeva, so you'll hear me mention that language occasionally. I read lexical semantics a few years ago, and that was before i had taken any linguistic classes, so i didn't *fully* understand it at that time (although i mostly did). I plan to read it again soon. For the rules of the list, i'm not sure of the exact rules of the conlang list, but i'm sure they would work fine. So, let's start exploring! :) --- In katanda@y..., "overthrowyertle" <overthrowyertle@y...> wrote: > Hello, > > Well, this is the first message for this new group, and...well...I > don't really know what to say. > First of all, a little about myself.
