Thank you for your work
I am finding your mainspace contributions (especially your bibliographies) clear and informative. Your talk page contributions are also outstanding (and sourced). Thank you for sharing what you teach for work with the broader audience of Wikipedia. I trust you will find contributing here as enjoyable as others (like me) find your contributions beneficial.

 * Thanks, Harold! I'll try to do a bit here and there when I find the time; mostly want to make sure that students (and others) who check linguistics topics find good info.Mundart (talk) 11:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Sluicing
Mundart, upon re-reading the relevant paragraph, I am comfortable with its wording, because it does not misrepresent the catena-based approach. I am sorry for not reading it carefully before producing my last reversion and writing my last response (which I then promptly deleted). Thank you for your patience. --Tjo3ya (talk) 03:30, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Clarifying "sluicing" article
Hello, Mundart!

I've been working on Typo Team moss clean-up, and an article that you've worked on has been identified (by a bot, mind you) as having unknown words. I traced this to an update you made on 6 June 2015:.

The "words" in question are "someone.DAT" and "who.DAT". I'm assuming that the the ".DAT" suffix indicates that the attached word is in the dative case. I don't know if you wrote these this way according to established conventions or not. Would it be equivalent to write: "someone {dative}" (or whichever enclosures:, [ ], / /, etc.)? This would be clearer to me, a non-linguist, and also to the bot that reviews pages for typos. Jkgree (talk) 20:37, 28 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for asking. Yes, "who.DAT" means that the German word "wem" means "who" and is in the dative case. The period before the abbreviation for grammatical terms (like cases, tenses, person, aspect, number, gender, etc.) is the standard way to indicate these inflections in the field, and follow the Leipzig Glossing Rules. No equivalent for glossing is available, and using anything else will only lead to confusion. Mundart (talk) 21:15, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks for explaining.  So I will tag them as "not a typo" - Jkgree (talk) 23:01, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
