I've not seen enough stuff in the philosophy groups which focuses on
philosophy of language topics.  I'm wondering about the possibility of 
getting a group going which would discuss topics in philosophy of
language, philosophy of linguistics, theories of meaning and truth, 
including cognitive theories, behaviourist theories, intensional
theories, issues in pragmatics, speech act theory, reference, naming, 
...and the works of philosophers like Putnam, Dummett, Davidson,
Searle, Donnellan, Evans, etc., etc., etc.

Is there interest to justify such a group?  How does one start such a 
group?  

I know the reason I favor starting one is that I haven't seen enough of
these kinds of discussions on the other philosophy groups, and I'm
hoping that the existence of a group with a name like
"talk.philosophy.language" would inspire more discussion.
