Hello. A European here. I have no idea what you are talking about.Viktor77 wrote:I'm a bit giddy as apparently my views on the question of what kind of power the EU can most be described as being gives me a solid European orientation for an American. Every American in my class answered that the EU was most a market power. The one German, our Greek professor, and I, responded that it is more a normative power. The professor asked me if I had some sort of European connections because apparently he's consistently found this distinction when teaching this course (external relations of the EU). So it just made me momentarily happy that I see things from perhaps a more European perspective despite being American. This goes along with an interview I just did for a Belgian project called Faces of Europe (which a Belgian friend working for the project insisted I do despite not being European).
I'm a nerd. Deal with it.

I finally got most of the Caber logograms digitized (all I have left to do of the extant glyphs are draw some of the prepositions).

Re: Happy Things Thread
Memorial service was a tremendous success--even if I did arrive to set up nearly an hour later than planned, and once the guests had already arrived. It was all very participatory, though I seemed like the only one taking full advantage of the host bar.

Re: Happy Things Thread
My passport now has a super-shiny Russian visa in it, so now I can attend a conference in Moscow in June. And it's at least looking like there'll be awesome results to report...

Re: Happy Things Thread
It's about how cyclic computation of words in morphosyntax can result in recursion of prosodic words (a.k.a. phonological words). It's an integration of Phase Theory (in Minimalism and Distributed Morphology) with Optimality Theory and specifically Match Theory. I have two detailed case studies, on templatic morphology in Chukchansi Yokuts and the Stem in Creek/Muskogee. Then I have a (bullshit) typology chapter to round it out.Risla wrote:Well, THAT's really cool! Congratulations! What's it about?kodé wrote:Turned in my dissertation to my committee!!!

Re: Happy Things Thread
Sounds really cool! I will admit to being a sucker for OT. I'd love to try to read it if you wanted to send it this way, although in all honesty I'd probably get halfway through and give up (I don't remember much of minimalism or distributed morphology, and never read much about prosody).kodé wrote:It's about how cyclic computation of words in morphosyntax can result in recursion of prosodic words (a.k.a. phonological words).

haha, i guess. lots of technical stuff in there. but there are some decently widely applicable generalizations.alice wrote:That deserves a PhD on the basis of the description alone
Re: Happy Things Thread
No doubt. I'm still trying to work out the difference between structural essentialism and essential structuralism, and how they relate to ambi-generative models of stochastic phonological processes.kodé wrote:haha, i guess. lots of technical stuff in there. but there are some decently widely applicable generalizations.alice wrote:That deserves a PhD on the basis of the description alone

The number of commenters on the appropriate page of the BBC website who aren't happy is slightly less happy, however.

Happy thing: my second publication just went online. Took some time, but feels pretty good.

Re: Happy Things Thread
I'll be honest--I tried reading the abstract and had no idea what half of it meant (neat stuff about a better way to make very tiny lenses, I got that much!). Nevertheless, that's very exciting!
I generally forget to say, so if it's relevant and I don't mention it--I'm from Southern Michigan and speak Inland North American English. Yes, I have the Northern Cities Vowel Shift; no, I don't have the cot-caught merger; and it is called pop.
Re: Happy Things Thread
Same here. Congratulations anyway!
Re: Happy Things Thread
Congratulations even though I couldn't understand it either!
