  2. Complete Publications and Lectures
  3. My alt.usage.english English Grammar pages
  4. Details and handouts from some recent talks
  5. A term paper about K-12 Language Science
  6. Two old coursepacks from my Intro Ling class (each ~100 pp)
  7. Scanned teaching materials from my Etymology class
