On the other hand, I find it quite necessary. Or else, it would be like a
magazine having a cover corresponding to no article at all!! :)) But on the
whole the idea is very nice. Today or tomorrow I'll send a post about the
journal as a whole (and I'll press Peter Clark to do the next poll on this
subject, to know once and for all who would be interested in this journal and
in what form).

Hehe, I think "Language Creation" rather than "Language" alone is a better
idea, for the very reason you gave that many of our languages have for a name
simply the word "language" in the language itself :)) .
