examples, so having this many examples is helpful. I see that there are numerous "List of . . ." pages. Maybe they need to be organized by category. I didn't find a category called "Language Lists"; perhpas such a category needs to be added. Language study includes and requires a great many lists of words that cannot be easily accessed in dictionaries, lists like this one.

language opportunity to test the Sacher-Warf hypothesis. Additionally what happens in languages where verb-noun is not so malleable? Lastly, it was stated that 30 % of the words in this list only are properly included with US accent; is there evidence to support that statement. My vote follows later.

for some reason abutted each other, and some people had commented on the list of words below the entry for Bruce, not realising that they were commenting under the wrong entry. So
Michael Hardy tried to sort it out by moving Bruce's link lower down, to separate it from the other entry, not realising

Keep, of course. The fact that one person considers it pointless to study language is only that person's weakness. Anyone who cares about the scientific study of the
English language will find this interesting, even if the article is imperfect in its present form. Those who don't care about that

Yet another useless attempt to delete valid content, you mean. NPOV? What can you possibly mean, there is no point of view involved, it is a factual list of words that change their gramatical role depending on stressing of the sylables. Keep it! Also - see the talk page for a serious discussion of

What a load of absolute bloody knee-jerk nonsense has been spouted in reply to that comment of mine. I am astonished at comments such as those made by Optim above and UtherSRG and Anon below. The problem - and it should not require me to point it out - is that a good 30% of the words on the list

Linguistics is the study of language, and liguists note that the spoken language is key. The issue of accent is not a reason to discredit this topic, but rather to study it. If there are accents of
English that do not convey this difference between verb and noun form then there is a natural

Keep. Lists like these are useful to people who study language and who teach language. This list in particular is interesting and will be helpful to me, an

Sorry if it looks like I voted on my own listing, but upon looking at the page history it seems somebody accidentally merged two listings together yesterday (maybe
