"Everywhere, every day, everybody uses language. There is no human society, no matter how small or how isolated, which does not employ a language that is rich and diverse. This course introduces you to linguistics, featuring interviews with well-known linguists and with speakers of many different languages. Join us to explore the miracles of human language!"
- Maitani
"The miracles of human language introduces you to the many-faceted study of languages, which has amazed humans since the beginning of history. Together with speakers of many other languages around the world, as well as with famous linguists such as Noam Chomsky, you will learn to understand and analyse how your native tongue is at the same time similar and different from many other languages. You will learn the basic concepts of linguistics, get to know some of the key features of big and small languages and get insight into what linguists do."

"Leiden University will present an Introduction to Linguistics this spring, in the form of a MOOC ('massive online open-access course'). Presenter prof. Marc van Oostendorp will introduce students into the basic concepts of linguistics, together with two of his own students and speakers of many different languages.
You can find more information, and sign up, at the course page." http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll...

Irrelevant, but interesting to me: When I began to use the social bookmarking website delicious in 2006 (my first attempt to participate in the web 2.0 world), Marc van Oostendorp's account was one of the first I followed there. :-)

are you planning to import these groups onto frenf.it?
- Lucretia, my reflection ൠ
Lucretia, I have already imported the Linguistics group to frenf.it. I just saw that I am also admin of the Translation and Language group (I wasn't aware of that :-)), so I could try to import it, too. :-)
- Maitani
yay! please do it!
- Lucretia, my reflection ൠ
Download is complete; I hope import will be possible soon. :-)

Oh, great! Is your nick Maitani in frenf.it too?

Yes, I keep it (also elsewhere on the Internet). :-)
