It has been three weeks since last butt-kicking. In the past three weeks,
– I finished the short paper, and submitted it to a couple professors for comment.
– I translated the next section of 南部吴语, the previous post. It was very long.
– I actually haven’t had much opportunity to listen to 二十分可乐. When I had time, there were technical problems.
– I haven’t written the Harmonic Grammar counting email.
– I did find the standard lists of tokens for surveying tone sandhi. I couldn’t find a citation for them though. I’m still unclear about it’s origin, but the list I found (on a message board) is the same one I had started to copy from 吴语语音研究.

In the next couple weeks,
– I will have to spend some time on a trip to Hong Kong, and on a short job to better afford it.
– I need to focus on getting ready to record the sandhi lists. I need to meet with my tutor and get rough familiarity ratings, though if there are problematic cells, I don’t know what solution there could be.
– In view of this focus, I’m skipping ahead in 南部吴语 to the chapter on tone. I’ll translate the next section.
– And I do want to keep watching 二十分可乐.
