I had some linguistics class both at the Bachelor level and master
degree when I did psychology (and later cognitive science). If you want
to read on the subject I can send you some books in PDF form, including
language analysis, context extraction and many other somewhat
interesting subject. It's also a excellent subject to annoy people when
they seem not too care, after telling them the story behind each word in
a sentence, they'll leave you alone !
