I never saw a purple brain...

[Mark A. Mandel]

When I saw the title of this dissertation listed in the short table of
contents in LINGUIST Lite, I thought it was a typo by the editorial staff,
so I went to the full notice. The spelling was the same in the official
summary that was furnished by the granting institution, MIT. I followed the
URL to the PDF of the dissertation itself. There it is on the title page:

MAGENTOENCEPHALOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATIONS OF MORPHOLOGICAL IDENTITY AND
IRREGULARITY

[Mag<en>to...]

I checked to be sure we weren't dealing with a breakthrough in
chromolinguistics. "Magnetoencephalography" and properly related terms show
up many times in a search of the text, while the transposition appears only
twice, both times in the title, on the title and abstract pages in the same
font. I would guess, from my own experience, that it was one of the last
things typed, going through a weary brain in a weary body, and escaped
poorfreading [sic]. The author may want to have it officially fixed.
