I've written a few posts about crash blossoms, and the images I've used match the (non-syntactic-tree) images here precisely — the cropping is identical. That's why I wondered where you found them.<br /><br />The images are not mine to claim; I just took screengrabs, cropped them and posted them. Their reappearance doesn't bother me. But a little courtesy goes a long way. (See for example <a href="http://nancyfriedman.typepad.com/away_with_words/2010/01/word-of-the-week-crash-blossom.html" rel="nofollow">Fritinancy's post</a> on crash blossoms.)Stanhttp://stancarey.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679131690828224322.post-24444802883614760142010-03-10T19:13:40.415-05:002010-03-10T19:13:40.415-05:00JCR - Thanks for sharing.

I always try to give credit when possible and the only reason I didn't here is because there are numerous sites that contain images of these headlines. From what I can gather, these are the links to the original posts in the order that they appear in this post:<br /><br />http://www.japantoday.com/category/entertainment-arts/view/violinist-reinvents-child-prodigy-image-linked-to-jal-crash-tragedy<br /><br />http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=8653746<br /> http://www.daytondailynews.com/o/content/shared-gen/blogs/dayton/daytoncrime/entries/2010/02/12/man_shot_in_chest_and_leg_knoc.html <br /><br />I have also seen and read about these crash blossom headlines on some outstanding linguistics blogs including:<br /><br />Language Log - http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/<br /><br />Sentence First - http://stancarey.wordpress.com/<br /><br />and<br /><br />Literal-Minded - http://literalminded.wordpress.com/Laura Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05229426716936563690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679131690828224322.post-65596574567368147262010-03-10T11:13:39.365-05:002010-03-10T11:13:39.365-05:00I must admit I haven't realized that such sent...I must admit I haven't realized that such sentences exist.
