Adverbs in Lakhota

[Catherine Rudin]

Hear, hear!  I'm very glad to see someone doing this kind of work; valuable both
for understanding structure of Siouan languages AND for development of
linguistic theory.  And I also would love to see the paper when you're ready to
circulate it.  Thanks for bringing up all these fascinating questions; I've been
enjoying the discussion!

    Dear Shannon,
        Thanks for your last clarification and good luck with the paper.
I would be very much interested in reading it if you care to share it.  I
have a lot of respect for the kinds of things that GB can do -- I think
that finding "uniform" mechanics for a variety of grammatical phenomena is
probably on the way to finding a model for how the brain works.  But the
details are nevertheless overwhelming, and there are many times when
phenomena seem to be forced into an inapporpriate version of the model.
So I'm glad people like you are working with the model AND interesting
languages and structures -- that's the way science advances.
        Best wishes,
        David
