[Lexicog] Slots and slot fillers (nee "Nouns")

[David Frank]

I remember, from when I was little, "one Bonanza" being used as a unit of 
time (or two Bonanzas, three, etc.). Everybody knew that the television 
program Bonanza lasted for one hour. But this was clearly a creative use of 
language for fun, related to what Patrick Hanks calls competence in 
exploiting the norms of language.

Patrick -- I really liked what you said about two types of competence. If 
you would publish something that contains that thought, it would make it 
easier for me to quote you on it.
