Your task this weekend is to complete the first step of your final project. For reading, we&#8217;ll be preparing to jump straight into nominal morphology. In so doing, I&#8217;ve assigned two readings on iconicity, in addition to the AoLI selection. Iconicity is a really awesome and really important concept we&#8217;ll be discussing more next week, but I wanted to give you some background reading on it. Having said that, both pieces are fairly long, and, in spots, fairly complex. Basically, I want you to read the beginning of <a href=\"\/papers\/haiman.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">the Haiman paper<\/a> to get the gist of what he&#8217;s saying, then maybe look at <a href=\"\/papers\/dingemanse.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">the Dingemanse, et al. paper<\/a>, which is much shorter, and especially take a look at the tables\/figures at the end.
