@lousylinguist Once upon a time, a prince climbed up on a poor girl's hair, punning all the way upon 'hair' and 'heir'. "You won't be reapin' any fruit if you're rippin' it," repunned Rapunzel.

So what now? CxG is falsifiable and there might be meaningless/non-symbolic aspects of language - but that doesn't mean that an incredible amount of language isn't symbolic - so much more in fact than what was assumed before the rise of CxG - and this is a worthwhile enterprise

[Bert Cappelle @BertCappelle]

@complingy Only because I've been mesmerized by the tree and have been staring at it for a long time, is it that "my" should also be an Npro, just like "I", and "will" a Vaux, just like "is", "'ve" and "been"? But these inconsistencies are indeed really very minor.

[Bert Cappelle @BertCappelle]

@complingy Very nice, thanks! I'll be looking forward to its launch!

@linguistMasoud Very nice. And more challenging to explain than it may seem. It's not about epistemic vs. non-epistemic. It's about wide-scope non-epistemic (what's intended) vs. narrow-scope non-epistemic (what it could be taken to mean).

@Pmela17989872 I'll be there!

@mattriemland @DCU Congratulations! Can we read your dissertation anywhere?

[Bert Cappelle @BertCappelle]

@DrDesLemmes @AlexisPichard__ Well, I'm also grateful to you and/or the publisher for the free copy! The last chapter on information structure already comes in very handy right now. 😉

[Bert Cappelle @BertCappelle]

I received in my mailbox this delightfully written grammar by @AlexisPichard__ & @DrDesLemmes. Concise yet complete, it keeps things simple without sacrificing linguistic sophistication.

[Bert Cappelle @BertCappelle]

@AlexisPichard__ @DrDesLemmes It's a well-deserved recommendation. I like it a lot, and so will many generations of students. Well done!

@lousylinguist Haha! Brings back vivid memories of Buffalo city snow, both fresh and melted!
