There's a lot of work out there on ontologies ... maybe 3 or 4 projects. (Will & Scott) Mining is extracting something of value from a baser substance, e.g. gold from the earth, or GOLD from linguistics. (Will & Scott) There's a spider in Google's back end. (Will & Scott) Our goal is inter-theoreticality. In linguistics, there is no such thing as theory neutrality. (Sebastian Drude) So, Dafydd, it was a chicken and Ega problem? (Doug) You can spread your intellectual butter thick or thin. (Dafydd) Linguists are only smart about linguistics. (Dafydd) I was thinking of skipping that slide anyway... (Gary) There's a terminology conflict within our own paper. Doug Whalen: We discovered that we didn't know a lot of things, so we started to make them up. (Terry & Scott) We didn't have a speaker of an endangered language, so we had to invent one ... (Helen) I was on a limited budget. I wanted the best practice no money could buy. (Robert) On Data Conversion: "Don't convert" (Chilin) On Sound Alignment: "I solved the problem by clapping"(Sebastian) On Good Practice vs. Best Practice: "Shall we recommend condoms or abstinence?"
