Project Proposal 6/19/04 9:30:16 PM Graded 100/100 Looks like you're off and running. I think this will be a great topic for you (and for me!). You might also contact: Father Solomon I. Sara Saras@georgetown.edu A fascinating man in his own right, a former professor of mine (be sure to mention me), and an active scholar.
Project Draft 7/5/04 10:38:26 PM Graded 90/100 A great piece of research. See detailed comments in the attached.
Sociolinguistic Project 7/18/04 2:39:50 PM Graded 95/100 Paper send by separate email (my host's computer here in Concord, MA will not allow me to do attachments..). Excellent work, but you need to be clearer still in your mind about phonetics vs. phonology.
