CR in the wild
As pointed out to me over email, some contrastive reduplication has been observed in the wild in one of last year’s Gossip Girl episodes. In case you’re collecting them and/or want a more recent example than from an old episode of Friends.
Tortoise express
Lately, I’ve quite often found that email arrives in my inbox after spending sometimes up to almost 24 hours dawdling around on the BU mail servers. Although it is true that I’m also drowning in email and don’t always respond immediately, it is not impossible that I simply haven’t received your email yet. Kind of …
See you at 12:30
I seem to have confused a couple of people with my previous post. Class will be tomorrow at the usual time. The usual time, however, is an hour more distant from last week’s class than it is most weeks, due to the conclusion of Daylight Saving Time. :p
Class postponed
Reminder: The time between last Tuesday’s class and this coming Tuesday’s class will be 10050 minutes, rather than the usual 9990. I wish you all the best in coping with the delay during this difficult time.

HW4 notes
So, the class ended without my really having time to say much about the homework that I’d thrown together (at great expense and at the last minute). Mostly, what I had in mind is outlined on the homework assignment itself, but I did want to say something more about the binding test, since it’s actually …
Yeah, I know
I only realize now, 10pm on the day before Thursday (aka Wednesday) that I never posted the Tomioka paper that I said we’d be looking at tomorrow. It’s there now, if you wish to get an advance look at what we’ll be talking about and have the time between now and then, go ahead. But …
