| On
the week of August 22, 2005, I was totally surprised by a birthday gift
from friends and former students -- a Festschrift edited by Jane Grimshaw,
Joan
Maling, Chris Manning,
Jane
Simpson, and Annie
Zaenen entitled Architectures,
Rules, and Preferences: A Festschrift for Joan Bresnan.
The contributors: Cynthia
Allen
Alex Alsina Avery Andrews Ash Asudeh and Ida Toivonen Judith Berman Miriam Butt Young-Mee Yu Cho and Mariko Saiki Hye-Won Choi Mary Dalrymple, Ron Kaplan, and Tracy King Yehuda Falk Abdelkader Fassi Fehri and Marie-Thérèse Vinet Jane Grimshaw Akira Ishikawa Gerhard Jäger Paul Kroeger Hanjung Lee Lori Levin Elena Maslova Rachel Nordlinger and Louisa Sadler Carol Neidle Peter Peterson Malka Rappaport Hovav and Beth Levin Guido Seiler Jane Simpson Nigel Vincent and Kersti Börjars The
contributions -- still undergoing final revisions -- are a
treasure-trove, extending across so many of my interests. These
interests are cleverly represented in the artwork above by Annie Zaenen.
I feel happy and lucky to have such a wonderful group of friends and colleagues in this special collection. Thank
you so much.
