Haj Ross teaches in the Linguistics Section of the Department of Linguistics and Technical Communication at the University of North Texas. He is interested in poetics "and" semantax [the interfield of syntax/semantics] – he does not see the sense in trying to keep "them" separate. Worse – studying the structural beauties of language without simultaneously watching how the great writers make use of the structural capabilities of their languages to hint at the ineffable – such a limitation leads to joyless linguistic science, where language becomes flat, grey.
