“Mark Lieberman”:http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/005280.html makes a good new year’s resolution.

bq. Once a week, I’ll post about some interesting and relevant piece of linguistic research, with links to a preprint, a published paper, a book chapter, or something similar. This has almost been true in past years, and with a little bit of effort…

I should try to do something similar. One reason I’ve stopped doing this in the past is that most of the stuff I’ve read and thought hard about has been Phil Review submissions. And for obvious reasons I couldn’t blog about them. But from now on I should be reading more published pieces and fewer submissions, so hence more philosophy blogging and fewer announcements!

The “call for papers”:http://myweb.facstaff.wwu.edu/wasserr/BSPC/bspc_2008 for Bellingham 2008 is up. Bellingham is always one of the most enjoyable and philosophically valuable conferences of the year, and I highly encourage flooding them with submissions. (Of course, their acceptance rate is lower than many major journals, so this isn’t a guarantee of getting a paper accepted, but it’s good to try.)

I’m going to try very hard over the upcoming year(s) to reduce the amount of travel I do, especially since there are so many things I can get to by local trains. But coastal Washington at that time of year, with the quality of philosophy on offer there, is really hard to pass up.
