My last week was this past week, and things are said and done over here, so now I get to root for everyone else finishing things up. The thesis is called `Almost’ in ASL…. um. Wait. What the hell is it called?

`Almost’ in ASL: Insights into event structure.

It’s about the concept `almost’, claims people have made, etc., etc. And then I look at what `almost’ does in ASL, conduct a little experiment, and draw conclusions from there (hint: `almost’ is ambiguous in English, not vague, and there is not necessarily an underlying ambiguity in the concept itself, but rather, just how it is realized in English). Believe me, it only seems exciting — and doesn’t it though? — because there’s 80 pages of other crap I didn’t include.

I’m all for picking some agreeable time next week and having people from coast-to-coast do a shot in celebration of our successes! Best of luck… Keep chuggin’ along, because it will be over soon!
