# Applied Category Theory for the Working Linguist

Since there are a few linguists in the class, I thought I'd take the initiative and make another discussion group.

Also, with the other discussion group on storytelling, I'm curious how the linguistic units inside a story relate or even build up a story.

Plus, linguistics is just really neat.

What would be some good starting reading material?
