glue booster

[Mary Dalrymple]

My book on LFG (which should be out by summer of next year, I think) will
also include some basic material on glue semantics, but the book by Dick and
Josef concentrates on logical issues in much more detail and so is probably
closer to the kind of thing Avery suggests.
