Welcome
Hello, Fellytseng and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Drmies (talk) 16:59, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Co-construction (linguistics)
Hello Fellytseng, and User:Brendapxh: welcome aboard. I made a few edits to the citations. Check out this one (and see Template:cite book and Template:cite journal. Templates are clean and consistent, and you won't have to use code for marking italics (BTW this is italicized--using double straight quotes [ this is italicized ] is easier than HTML markup). I got rid of one of the old links--it was useless; better to find a new one, in JSTOR or a published book. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 17:04, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * You have probably seen this article already, but it has the citations needed (plenty in the Works Cited, including Hayashi and Lerner) to replace that citation needed tag: http://www.jstor.com/stable/43649900 . Interesting that so much of the scholarly work is about Japanese and by Japanese scholars. Drmies (talk) 17:21, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for your help! The templates you directed me to are very useful. I'm still trying to get the hang of Wikipedia so I apologize in advance for any blunders and I hope I do not step on anybody's toes! Your observation about the bulk of research on this topic being Japanese is certainly true! I'm not sure if you might be interested, but I believe it has to do with the word order in the Japanese language. Verbs tend to be sentence-final, which has interesting impacts on the syntax projectability as compared to that of English. Ah, this might be too niche to be interesting after all. Anyway, please let me know if this is the right way to comment/reply (?) on talk pages. Also I do hope that I am signing off correctly! Fellytseng (talk) 17:48, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * No apology necessary--we appreciate your help. No toes have been hurt, no blunders were made. Templates make a lot of things easier--I remember trying to be all stubborn and do MLA style, and that was silly. I wonder how this applies to German, BTW, which has a similar tendency to put the verb at the end (and Dutch does to). No, it's not too niche--you should see how much coverage we have of J-pop and K-pop and anime and rasslin'. Yes, this is the right way. (Comments about content are better placed on the article talk page.) Note that you can ping editors by typing out their user name, like this, User:Drmies, but it only works if you sign your message. There are fancier way to do it; see Help:Notifications. Please tell your professor I said hi, and tell them I am envious of their hardworking students. I have no doubt y'all would pass my current class in flying colors--it's just Intro to Linguistics. Take care. Drmies (talk) 18:01, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
