"One of the regular frustrations of studying for this blog comes from the number of papers I read by people who argue as though, because language and mathematics both manipulate symbols, they can both be described by the same generalizations. They cannot. Take for example the differences that arise from the presence of verbs in language and their absence in mathematics."

"If we think of a sentence as working like a solar system, then the sentence's sun is its verb. The sentence gets its dynamism from the verb's gravity and all parts of the sentence are related to one another through the verb. Mathematics lacks that kind of unifying authority.."

That is so incredibly sad, seyif. I know, but I act as if it wasn't true.

You guys, I am so sad we won't meet on ff any more. Where will you all be after ff?
- Maitani
Hey Maitaini, I'm very sorry too. You also happen to be one of the first people here that I've became a follower of, even before the turkish speakers. 4 years ago or something I even asked at Linguistics if there is a linguist of western semitic around, ahah! Anyway, thanks so much for so many interesting feeds that you posted under Linguistics, which I often benefited from professionally too. It looks like the coders from Turkey are trying to create a clone for the Turkish crowd, and the Italians have already created frenf.it . Please let me know if you have a blog or something. Hope to be in touch.

please give a try to frenf.it/earlyadopters/ maitani. It would be great if you could share your stuff there as well :)

Alfonker, right now (and the next time) I can be found on Twitter and on Google+. I am not sure where else I am going to go, I think I'll try frenf.it .... Maybe I will revive my blog. Btw, I think I have been on ff since 2007. When it was acquired by facebook, I never thought it would last as long as it did.
- Maitani
If I revive my blog, you'll know from Twitter or G+.
- Maitani
see you at twitter then, thanks
