- When did contractions come into English, and why don't characters in period dramas use them?
- Did Hebrew displace Yiddish when it was revitalised?
- Do bilingual children have delays in syntax?
- When did the word APOLOGY move from a defence to an expression of contrition?
- Did linguistics affect your religious faith?
