Attention linguistics dorks. (No, this doesn't have anything to do with American accents.)

Check out the part halfway through about spatial verb grammar. Neat.

That is the most fascinating thing I've read in a while. Thanks, Nick! You're on top of it. or should I say, it you ons top.

I found out about it from Damn Interesting, but that NYT article seems to have been their primary source.

GOD, the whole idea just gets cooler the longer I think about it. Man.

Metafilter's talked quite a bit about that story before. Also, don't know if you've seen it, but if you want a daily linguistics fix, check out languagehat (http://languagehat.com/).

Languagehat might actually be TOO hardcore for me. But I run across it every once in a while and am always impressed.
