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

Wlodzimierz Sobkowiak --

I would be interested to read what you have written about metalinguistic 
competence. I am not particularly interested in metaphonological 
compentence, but I am interested in metalinguistic competence, as you define 
it.

It may be of some interest in this context that my 1991 book on
"Metaphonology of English Paronomasic Puns" was entirely devoted to what
Patrick calls exploitation, and what I called the metaphonological
competence -- that being part of metalinguistic competence, i.e. (briefly)
native competence to manipulate/exploit language rules and entities for
non-communicative purposes (mostly ludic -- hence puns).  Notice that this
sense of 'metalinguistic' is different from Jakobson's.

Mail me off-list for more details, if interested.
