Language
and grammar are beginning to overwhelm. I confess a gap the size of the Grand
Canyon. I am bouleversé by the likes
of:
Clitic,
proclitic, enclitic, anaphora, cataphora, the whole of morphosyntax, the syntax
of reference and discourse effects in word order.
These matters are of some importance. Interpreting signs, in the manner
put forward in my proposal to undertake a study of writing social identity in
the environment, requires some passing knowledge of linguistics. The following
passage is from Optimality-theoretic
Syntax a book put together by Géraldine Legendre, Jane Barbara Grimshaw, Sten Vikner. Besides
their own pieces, it includes contributions from Peter Ackema, Judith Aissen,
Eric Bakovic, Joan Bresnan, Hye-Won Choi, Joao Costa, Edward Keer, , Gereon
Muller, Ad Neeleman, Vieri Samek-Lodovici, Peter Sells, Margaret Speas, , Colin
Wilson, Ellen Woolford.
