Antipassives

[dlevere at ILSTU.EDU]

Dear Wolfgang,

It seems to me that work that doesn't quite fit an established print  
journal or monograph series ought either to be submitted to an  
electronic journal or simply posted on one's webpage with a notice to  
the relevant list, at least for senior scholars such as yourself.

Most of the people who would read and benefit from your research  
report are readers of this list and Funknet, and some on LinguistList  
who don't read these two lists. In fact, by making your work available  
to your colleagues by this announcement and your webpage, you have  
probably already ensured that your paper will be read by more people  
than most print outlets.

I look forward to reading the work from your website.

Others might have different opinions about publication, of course. But  
that is my view.

Dan
