Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.

I have a new paper out in the journal Morphology: "French liaison is allomorphy, not allophony: evidence from lexical statistics". It's the last piece of my trilogy on French liaison. doi.org/10.1007/s11525-024-0…
