Speculative Grammarian Volume CLVIII, Number 2 February 2010 The editors and publishers, previous and present-day, are thrilled to divulge that another issue of Speculative Grammarian is now available. This issue is comprised of: a collection of singular, strange, and state-of-the-art articles, including a theoretical account of why translation may be impossible, an introduction to graphophonetics—which links IPA transcription and personality, an exploration of the divine future of linguistics, and continuing contributions to things you didn’t know you didn’t know about linguistics; along with the usual high-quality collection of letters from our readers, cartoons, book announcements, puzzles, and more... Next time (March 2010), we will have another all-new issue of Speculative Grammarian.       Read the current issue. Read back issues.

We have recently completed our transition from the real world to online: we have finally finished digitizing the tattered remains of our once glorious Archive, re-publishing each issue on the internet. Our new mission is two-fold: First, we will continue to publish the best works of satirical linguistics available anywhere—in various formats, including online publishing, audio podcasts, and micro-blogging. We are, of course, looking for submissions for upcoming issues of SpecGram. Second, we seek to transform other satirical linguistics resources from their current dead-tree-format to a more readily disseminated bit-based format. Our most recent projects have been the conversion of the anthologies Lingua Pranca and Son of Lingua Pranca.

I hope you enjoy your visit with us. We hope you’ll come back again soon. There are always several improvements in the works, and we always appreciate your suggestions and ideas. —Trey Jones Managing Editor, Speculative Grammarian
