4. Drafts for comments

'Drafts for comments' offers bulletin readers the opportunity to submit
information about drafts or projects on which they would like to receive
comments from the community. This brings work in progress to the attention
of the community and plays some of the role that previous incarnations of
the archive played.

>From Joseph Lovestrand (joeylovestrand at hotmail.com):

"Joey Lovestrand is revising part of his dissertation for an OUP
publication “Barayin morphosyntax: a lexical-functional approach”. Any
volunteers interested in reviewing one or more chapters would be much
appreciated!"

Please submit basic article/project information and (a) a URL if the item
is available online or else (b) your contact email.
