RIP to my friend, teacher, and mentor, Haj Ross, who passed away last week.

Haj left his fingerprints all over the field of linguistics, coining many terms including: islands, sluicing, pied piping, and conspiracy (in the phonological sense).

kids absorb whatever seems privileged in their ambient environment. this is quite visible in language acquisition but applies to everything. if you want your child to have a certain habit, you milist consistently perform the habit!
