All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.


There's 2 possible outcomes: If the result confirms the hypothesis, then
you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis,
then you've made a discovery.

We are pleased to announce a Graduate Research Fellowship in ASL
Linguistics in conjunction with the American Sign Language Linguistic
Research Project (http://www.bu.edu/asllrp ) and the National Center for
Sign Language and Gesture Resources, funded by the National Science
Foundation. The fellow, who must be a native or near-native ASL signer,
will assist with the elicitation and transcription of ASL data. The
fellowship, which provides full tuition plus a stipend, is for academic
year 1999-2000 and is potentially renewable for up to two more years.

The recipient of this fellowship will be a student enrolled in a
graduate program at Boston University (the interdisciplinary M.A. or
Ph.D. Program in Applied Linguistics in the Graduate School, the Deaf
Studies Program in the School of Education, or other programs) during the
academic year in question.

Candidates for this fellowship should:

   1. submit their application for admission to the appropriate Boston
University graduate program following standard procedures; and

   2. send a letter describing their interests and qualifications for the
fellowship (and indicating the BU program to which they are applying or
