Part twenty-one of a tour through Greek inflectional morphology to help get students thinking more systematically about the word forms they see (and maybe teach a bit of general linguistics along the way).

I’ve finally done the work in translating the MorphGNT tagging system to a new proposal for initial feedback.

Measures of dispersion are interesting to apply to a corpus because they tell you whether a word is distributed across parts of the corpus as expected or concentrated more in just some parts. I thought I’d play around with Gries’s DP as a measure of dispersion on the SBLGNT lemmas.

I thought I’d help a friend learn some basic Unix command line (although pretty comprehensive for this type of work) with some practical graded exercises using MorphGNT. It worked out well so I thought I’d share in case they are useful to others.

I’ve put my two SBL papers this year (from both the recent Annual Meeting and the International Meeting) online and also sync’d my Annual Meeting slides to audio I recorded on my iPhone.

I’m again speaking at the SBL Annual Meeting, this time in Boston. My topic is basically the “lemma lattice” work started by Ulrik Sandborg-Petersen and I back in 2006 but which I’ve never presented in this sort of setting before.

In his talk on adversive conjunction in Gothic at the 29th UCLA Indo-European Conference, Jared Klein started with a wonderful example paragraph in English.

Tomorrow I’m off to Los Angeles for the Twenty-Ninth Annual UCLA Indo-European Conference.
