ocromm | Hi all

I'll post the translations into German, but first, I take the opportunity to introduce myself. I'm Oliver, mother tongue German, but presently living in Montréal, Canada. I have spent more than three years in Japan, so German, English, Japanese are my strong languages, I gradually get more used to French here; I lerned it only for a year 20 years age, but I can read it fairly well, sometimes I wonder why. I have also studied to various degrees: Russian, Latin, Spanish, Nahuatl.

Originally a mathematician, I am now working in the field of Computational Linguistics, specifically machine translation. My interest in this group is mainly to see various points of view on language and how these influence thinking about IAL. I am quite sympathetic, but pessimistic about the idea of an IAL.

I'll try to post that in LFN again.

Oliver
