Errata for Carnie (2008) Constituent Structure

Dear Colleagues,

I'm writing to any of you who might have recently purchased (or are  
planning on purchasing) my 2008 book _Constituent Structure_ from OUP.

Due in part to some extremely unfortunate personal events (my father  
passed away the very day I received the final proofs), I did not pay  
sufficient attention to the final proofs of the book, and an unusually  
high number of errors managed to make it into the final version. This  
includes some very serious errors in some of the formal definitions  
and a truly embarrassing number of typos. Two eagle-eyed readers (Dirk  
Bury and Adam Przepiórkowski) spotted nearly 5 pages worth of errata  
and I've added some more of my own. Anyone who buys the book should be  
sure to download the errata from my website at:

http://dingo.sbs.arizona.edu/~carnie/publications/ConstituentStructure.html

Any HPSG-L and LFG-L readers who spot any other mistakes are  
encouraged to drop me a line so I can add them to the list.

OUP assures me they'll fix these in any future printings, if there are  
any. In the meantime, I hope these errata will mollify any outrage at  
the mistakes readers find.

Best and apologies,

Andrew
