This is what casual antisemitism in Western academia looks like -- of two sides of the conflict, only one is deemed worthy of sympathy. (The answer to a direct question was of course along the lines "I wish peace to all the children, I haven't mentioned other conflicts either")

Alas (it doesn't seem this is the only typo...)

In preparation to ALT 15 (next week in Singapore). Will certainly use "monkey-proof" as an incorporation example next time I teach morphology

Now I've looked up the biography of this guy, published by Zinkievicius in 1983. It does include a specific name, place and date of birth, but it ends with the guy leaving to work in the Tyumen Oblast. (In Western Siberia, thousands miles away, making him virtually untraceable back then.)

My paper on emphatic negation in Colloquial Russian is finally out in the Journal of Slavic Linguistics (open access). I guess not many can boast of a paper that has the word 'dick' right in the abstract

My 1st post here ought to be about one of the most famous Georgian poems, Nikoloz Baratashvili's ცისა ფერს ʦ-isa per-s sky-gen color-dat 'Blue color' 'The color of the sky, the color of azure, the color of the primeval creation, and not of this world, I loved since boyhood'

Hope to write it later
