Box discoveries
This unpacking is revealing some amazing stuff. Just found my university finals question papers from 1977 - typewritten. Now tell me how this question (which I circled and so presumably answered successfully, but which reads about as clearly as Mandarin to me now) has helped me in my life over the last thirty-one years:
Okay, we're talking about French linguistics.
'What is the nature of the base component in a generative transformational grammar of the type you have studied? Give examples of P-S rules, but not of lexical insertion in French.'

It's probably terribly meaningful, and somewhere deep in your psyche it's been acting as a source for upspringings of wisdom and erudition ever since. Or not...

I wish I still knew. Then I could share it with you all and I'm sure we'd be better people.

If you think that's bad Paola, I did my lingustics finals in 1997 and I couldn't answer it now either!

That question isn't simplistic enough for me - I'm all for keeping things simple - that's my excuse!

I did semiology instead. All airy fairy, pie in the sky about connotations and symbols, if I recall correctly.
