I have just sent out a final draft of my paper critiquing Porter’s model of prominence and grounding. I had expected to present it at SBL, but the topic was rejected. The same one was submitted to ETS, about which I have not yet heard back. Pending feedback from colleagues, I will submit the paper for publication in early June, shifting attention to Porter’s view of markedness. There was too much content for one paper.

For those of you in the PNW that might be interested in attending the discourse workshop June 7-9, there should be some good news coming out next week!
