   ALSO NEW :  On August 30, one of the 120 long pages had grown gigantic, so I split it. There are now 126 long pages. Keeping the Glossary's pages from growing too long means that they continue to load fast and scroll easily.
"Comp-Comz" → "Comp-Compas" + "Compat-Complement" + "Complementa-Complex F" + "Complex G-ComplexB" + "ComplexC-ComplexR" + "ComplexS-Compound" + "Compound A-Comz"
  
   TIP (#1 OF 40) :  The collection targets of SGOL are terms that I hear at conferences, colloquia, and standalone talks about the core subfields of linguistics, e.g., phonetics, phonology, prosody, morphology, grammar, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, information structure, language acquisition, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and diachronic/historical linguistics. Terms from non-core subfields are occasionally added.

   THE PERSONAL GLOSSARY OF JON PAUL SANK   
    In order to understand linguistics conference talks, I began in the mid-2000s to collect linguistics terms for a glossary or dictionary of my own. Wanting a useful conference companion and having decided also to share it, I aimed my design at lightning-fast page loading, common-sense navigation, easy scrolling, and universal compatibility. Pages would be small, simple, and display-responsive. Nowadays, this research-relevant lexicon is more professional-looking, much richer with terms, and more able to render linguistics notations, even while it remains simple and nimble.
