Professor J Lawler, who we're privileged to have contribute here, is a published author in linguistics. You can check his published articles and his qualifications online. | |

| Jul 27, 2019 at 14:04 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Hello, Patriot. Good answers on ELU should be accompanied by supporting references where reasonable; this is so that answers don't come across as mere opinion (which they sometimes are). Here, a linked reference to a sentence of the same form found in a dictionary would suffice. | |
