| Summary: |
Dear Everyone Last December I posted a request on the List for suggestions on an accessible introductory syntax textbook. I would like to thank the List for making it possible for me to unknowingly kill two birds with one stone: I have not only received very useful suggestions, for which I am grateful, but I have also renewed contacts with former University of Illinois classmates who for the past 10 years didn't know where I was. Many thanks to the following for responding to my call for assistance. Sorry if I have inadvertently left out a name.
