The discussion about other languages sometimes seems a bit bizarre. English is (and remains) the lingua franca of academic work. Spanish might achieve a similar position over time but for now, it is English. I admit that we might miss important work and exclude some persons by having English as a working language but the costs of including more languages are too big, in my opinion. And what is the problem. I am a Scandinavian and we always have to do a lot of things in two languages: English and our own. We survive, although the native English speakers have a privileged position, not at least in face to face academic discussions, which they should appreciate :-) Jakob Linaa Jensen University of Aarhus, Denmark -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: air-l-aoir.org-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-aoir.org-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] På vegne af air-l-aoir.org-request@listserv.aoir.org Sendt: 5. oktober 2004 18:33 Til: air-l-aoir.org@listserv.aoir.org Emne: Air-l-aoir.org Digest, Vol 3, Issue 10 Send Air-l-aoir.org mailing list submissions to air-l-aoir.org@listserv.aoir.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to air-l-aoir.org-request@listserv.aoir.org You can reach the person managing the list at air-l-aoir.org-owner@listserv.aoir.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Air-l-aoir.org digest..."
