[Somean] Future plans

[E. Allyn Smith]

Hi everyone,

As Kathryn said, there are three main topics that Greg is working on  
now, each of which is represented by an attached paper (or abstract).   
They are:

(1) "Literal Lucy" experiments
(2) Uniqueness effects in article choice
(3) "That would be X" construction

Cheers,
Elizabeth
