2007-Nov-26, Monday 03:19* I've had a cold for the past couple weeks and have gotten very little done except for work on MNCL5. For that, I've worked mainly on syntax, but also on morphology, and have written down (but not typed up) a list of possible vocabulary items. There are still some details of phonology that need to be decided, such as whether p, t, k, and c are aspirated enough to mention it and how some clusters are pronounced, including tr, dr, ts, dz, cr, and jr. I probably also should list which two-consonant sequences don't occur. These include all double consonants plus tx, tc, dj, and dy.
* The last couple of days, I've been reading a dissertation on Polish verbs. So far (the first two chapters) it's been very readable (except for the German quotes) and non-theoretical. Chapter 1 gives a clear overview of Polish verb pairing and an outline of the historical developments, starting in Proto-Indoeuropean times. Chapter 2 discusses the history of the terms "aspect" and "Aktionsart".
* The only thing special I did for Thanksgiving was call my sister.
* I still need to log my MRI adventure. I hope I still remember everything by the time I get around to it.
