http://www.xibalba.demon.co.uk/jbr/lingo.html - A Primer In SF Xenolinguistics
A fascinating article about alien languages and whether it would be possible to communicate with aliens. The possibilities for mutual misunderstanding would be endless. (The article will be incomprehensible to anyone not well-versed in SF, I suspect - requires knowledge of Babylon 5, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Hitch-Hiker's Guide, etc etc.)
