Long Distance Scrambling and the Typology of WTF-questions: A Minimalist Approach to Life in India
Tonight Gina and I were discussing the Chomskyan grammar of life at the Asia Pacific office and at points I was laughing so hard I almost thought I would die. Think "SPEC of AP" and "Long Distance Passive" and "Blocking Effects" and "The Last Resort Principle" and "Dependent on the Syntax of Local Processes" and "Local Binding" and "Long Distance Head Movement" and so on.
OK, you probably (1) had to be there and (b) had to have spent at least four years of your life immersed in X-bar theory and (iii) have I mentioned the copious amounts of alcohol? Gina just dragged her jet-lagged ass to bed, but seriously, I am still laughing.
