The first “homework” comes in two parts. The first part is just a couple of demographic questions for you. You can email your answers to me. If I did this right, you can click here to start your email with the questions already there. Do this anyway, even if you know that I know you, I might not know all of this stuff. But the questions are:
Â
What other Linguistics courses (or related courses) have you taken?
What are your (actual or planned) major/minors?
What languages (other than English) do you know, and how well?
What language(s) did you grow up speaking?
Do you prefer to be called something other than what I see in the class list?1
Anything else that seems relevant?
The second part is to comment on this post. Feel free to just say “present.” But I want you to have had the opportunity to use the comment function, and I want to know that it is working right.
1Within reason, that is. “Your Excellence” is not a valid answer here.
Can you hear me now?

Hi! I’m curious about the name of the font you chose for the Powerpoint headings in the Presentation on Thursday. I love new fonts. If you don’t mind telling me what it was called… 😉
