Of which West Germanic language was Craig Seymour a professor at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth?
English language English is a West Germanic language that was first spoken in early medieval England and is now a global "lingua franca". Named after the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes that migrated to England, it ultimately derives its name from the Anglia (Angeln) peninsula in the Baltic Sea. It is closely related to the Frisian languages, but its vocabulary has been significantly influenced by other Germanic languages, particularly Norse (a North Germanic language), as well as by Latin and Romance languages, particularly French.
Lingbuzz LingBuzz is a repository of electronic preprints and other kinds of published and unpublished articles in the field of linguistics. LingBuzz was created and is maintained by Michal Starke, and is hosted by the University of Tromsø. While its functionality and resources are much more limited than those of similar repositories, its use has become customary as a vehicle for sharing new and old research, especially in generative grammar. Researchers also routinely provide links to LingBuzz-hosted versions of papers in their personal webpages. Much like what happens in the case of arXiv, albeit in a smaller scale, LingBuzz papers are often cited as such.
