Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache based on six aspects of linguistics:Phonetics, Syntax, Morphology, Phonology, Semantics & Semiotics


The cache is located at: N 53 1[F-A].[F-D][ B ][E-A] W 006 0[ C ].[F+D][D+F][ F ]

The Cache

The cache is hidden in Shanganagh Park, a lovely park in south county Dublin, made up of two large green areas separated by the DART line and stretching right down to the coast. There is a popular children's playground at the main entrance to the park.

The cache is a small camouflaged lock & lock container. I have been generous with the clue, as tree cover may hinder your search.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

Extra bonus linguistics joke....

A linguistics professor was giving a lecture. "In English", he says, "a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
