Verbatim is “working towards having the complete run of VERBATIM back issues available online, and searchable, too” (in the words of Mark Liberman at Language Log, from whom I got the link).
Verbatim is the only magazine of language and linguistics for the layperson. We write about words and their uses with verve and humor, concentrating on English in all its variety and all the fun parts of other languages. Names, palindromes, puns and proverbs are also topics of interest. Puzzles, book reviews, SIC! SIC! SIC! and more round out each issue.
The back issues so far available are here; there looks to be a lot of interesting stuff.
Greatranslations.com launches Gtranshost.com
Gtranshost.com is being launched on December 13th’
Gtranshost is the webservices arm of Greatranslations. Gtranshost’s aim is simply to provide all the webservices, including domain name registration, hosting and website construction, that language professionals require in this age of global communications and business.
With so much business now being conducted via the Internet, especially global industries such as translation and other language services, it is essential that you have a professional online presence.
It is no longer sufficient to have a free site with all the third-party advertising that goes with it, nor does a profile page on a directory site give you the professional image necessary to attract direct clients.
What you require is a website with your own domain name backed by an efficient hosting service which will present you and your company to the millions of potential clients looking for the services you provide.
So why not pay a visit now to: http://gtranshost.com/index.html
