Hi All, Did I loan the library's copy of Neil V. Smith's "The
Acquisition of Phonology" to anyone? It's been recalled by the library
and isn't on my bookshelf.
Thanks for helping me confirm (in this instance, at least) that I'm not
crazy,
Andrew

This year Harvard Summer School will be offering an intensive course
in Intermediate Italian.
ITAL S-Cab
A "Fabulous" Course in Intermediate Italian: Italy, National Identity
and the Fable.
An intensive course for students with a basic knowledge of Italian.
Speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills are all emphasized
through seven principal functions of communication. Class time focuses
on further developing oral/aural skills by retelling popular folktales
and enjoying Italian film and music. Writing skills are developed
through a weekly journal with focused assignments, and an end-of-course
writing project.
For more information, please check the website:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
ABSTRACT:
Fanselow & Cavar (2002) proposed an account of discontinuous arguments
such as (1), in which the conflict between the economy of pronunciation
and the need to pronounce phrases with operator features in pertinent
specifier positions played a crucial role. An ongoing research project
(www.split-nps.de) tries to evaluate this approach and improve it where
necessary. The talk can be considered an interim report of this project,
based the analysis of data from some 60 languages. Particular emphasis
will be given to the repair strategies employed when arguments are
pronounced in a discontinuous way, the grammatical difference resulting
from the relative positions of the noun relative to the determiner in
discontinous arguments (compare (1a) with (1b)), and a discussion of what
factors possibly predict the occurrence of split arguments in natural
language.
