Note to potential "friends" in the special LiveJournal sense in which "friend" has become a verb: I would like to know who you really are, especially if you'd like to be mutual friends. Please see the nice essay written on this topic by

Dear Barbara,
It's Olga Kagan. It's nice to see you in LJ!

(from Elena Rudnitskaya) I'm sorry not to attend any linguistic events at the moment, but that'll steal the time I need to finish a couple of papers by the Fall. I also don't like anonimous friends, but I've found a couple of very good anonymous friends recently (from S.-Petersburg and from Odessa). They are, however, friends of my older friends or members of "soobschestva". That's all I can think of by now.

Hi Barbara,
I'm Michael, from Bar Ilan University. I read your article on Genitive of Negation and some others! Nice to meet you:)

Re: Hi bhp1 May 28 2007, 16:45:02 UTC

Hi Michael, thanks for the note. Glad to meet you too. My friends at Bar Ilan include Susan Rothstein, Yael Greenberg, and Aldo Sevi; and other graduate students who helped Susan organize her 2005 workshop on aspect whose names I can't remember. (And Fred Landman and I are very old friends -- we go back more than 25 years.)
If you're working on anything that is related to any of the issues involved in Genitive of Negation (and there are many), I'd be glad to know about it.

Re: Hi schreibermm May 28 2007, 17:33:00 UTC

Great! I saw you at the 2005 Workshop.
This is my final year and now I'm writing an MA thesis on Differential Object Marking in Russian. Sure, I do address some GenNeg-related issues in my work. By the way, my instructors are Susan Rothstein and Gabi Danon. Although my work deals mainly with the syntactic aspect of the issue, I touch upon GenNeg as well. I'll be very glad to discuss it further.

Sorry, I got distracted and didn't reply. Do send me something to read!

And I'm Alexander Konovalenko. I have the same nickname (alexkon) on Flickr, where you have seen some pictures of the 2005 New York Institute in St. Petersburg taken by me.

Greetings, and thanks for the note.
And I saw that you added a note to one of my Flickr pictures of Yakov Georgevich at the Moscow student conference -- glad you liked it. Sure, he certainly laughs sometimes! I think I already told you how much I liked your Flickr picture of him at the NYI in St Petersburg in 2005.

BHP stands for Barbara, Happy Birthday!!!

Thank you!!
In what dialect, though? I thought Russian devoiced only final consonants, not initial ones? It's a nice sentiment in any case!!
