Google is your friend and gives:

Having read all four entries you will have come across half-a-dozen other phrases you have never heard of, such as:
extantal imbuant and modal informant

More in need of enlightenment than ever, you can then post another half-dozen questions on the forum

To be interested in these kinds of arcana you must

be living somewhere even more boring than Saudi Arabia
have decided to take an MA in Applied Linguistics in order to get away from your present job.

Many thanks for those links Stephen

I lived in Saudi for a while and it was quite fun. I am a discourse analyst- is that worse than being a linguist?
