Language Log

Posted by Brian

Via Kai von Fintel, I see there’s a new blog Language Log being run by four very talented linguists. I was very pleased to see that Geoff Pullum, author of my favourite academic book, agrees with me about the learned/said controversy that erupted here soon after CT opened.

It’s no wonder there was such a controversy. Nowhere in the quote is the term “Niger yellowcake” used. The lexical analysis is correct, but it misses the point.
