What's this?

A little reflection daily about my language acquisition

Have I written about Language before, here? Well, yes, obviously 'language'. But possibly not 'Language', although over the years my thinking has moved in that direction.

I envisage the creation of Language as an area of study. And so at school you might do Maths, English, Science but now also a subject called Language (in the singular).

Languages like English, French, Japanese would then belong to the realm of Applied Language. 

'Language' would consist of what? 

In my opinion: general principles, acquisition methodology, and blue sky research based upon the thinking of people Stephen Krashen, Frank Smith and several others.
