Aspects -- My Thanks to All!

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear Seelangers:

I would like to express my deep appreciation to all those who have written
to me requesting a copy of my essay on Russian aspectual decision-making.
This shows just how intense and controversial this central issue in Russian
grammar is to all of us.  While I believe the main thesis of my essay to be
essentially valid, both in theory and practice, I welcome comments from
others. I think SEELANGS is a perfect forum for the discussion of aspects,
and even more so, for the exchange of views on the teaching of aspects in
the classroom. It is also a perfect place for discussing American-Russian
confrontations on this elusive subject.

What a better place for this dialogue than on the Internet?!

Thank you all again for your cooperation.

Benjamin
