 * Article Evaluation
 * WikiProject Linguistics rated (B, top importance)
 * the talk page is all over the place, personal feelings comming out with rather charged language. one of the main things noted on the page is that the lead is too long for the length of the article and they ask for help dividing it into the body and into new body paragraphs/sections.
