Ya'll might be interested in a relatively new blog "Lingua Franca" at
The Chronicle of Higher Education. Posts include "What the meaning of 'is' is"; "In the Time of the Declarative Sentence" (by none other than the aforementioned - in another thread - Pullum); "Antoine Dodson Saves My Class" (an article about a graduate level class in Reed-Kellog diagramming); and one of my personal favorites on that horrid new word "relatable." Good reads all.
