I guess I should introduce myself. I'm a graduate student at Brandeis in Computer Science. I study natural language processing, computer learning and modeling of cognitive science stuff. I know a lot about things like "manner and path verbs" and "lexicalization biases" although what I really want to do is reasoning. Work I've done has lead me to be interested in a language without the complications of English as a basis for a reasoning system. I was introduced to lojban by la rab.spir (hi Rob). I'm working through lojban for beginners (although I often get distracted and have to back up) and I have some vocab in an electronic flashcard program (iFlash for the mac). -Catherine ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Catherine Havasi
