That's interesting.  :-)
I keep a bunch of useful links around at
http://yhl.freeservers.com/links2.html#LANG

Of particular note is the Gray Wizard's list of Linguistics references at
http://www.graywizard.net/Conlinguistics/library.htm
(hope he doesn't mind me mentioning it)

And I've got a list of books I've found helpful and possibly
interesting/useful to a beginner at
http://yhl.freeservers.com/rpgs/rpglang.html#READING
