...the usual method of most classicists, focus on syntax and clause structure--in particular I find that understanding the clause structure of any language, ancient or modern, analytic or synthetic, is crucial in intuitively understanding the meaning of a sentence.

I am a recent graduate of Columbia University with a degree in English literature.

...love it; I love the way it makes me think and interact with language. The idea is to write in our own living language, and I'm currently finishing up that self-indulgent, semi-autobiographical first novel. I think it's great---we'll see if anyone else agrees.

...my tutees and work steadily and optimistically, both with and alongside them, until we have met every goal. Sometimes this happens earlier than planned, sometimes later.
