This area of linguistics belongs to the cognitive sciences. Vamjok, we are going to pry your brains open to find out how you think
Survival of the fittest? No problem. The evolutionary process will erase you from their database of those who will survive, to be replaced by those who are more systematic and those who possess better METHODOLOGY in their heads. Let the process begin..
