I'll let you know if I come across any mention of it in my research readings this semester.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679131690828224322.post-84892581008853219532011-03-02T11:09:53.861-05:002011-03-02T11:09:53.861-05:00What I remember about TOT from linguistics classes...What I remember about TOT from linguistics classes is that when you are trying to come up with the word and you think/say something like, "Oh, I know it starts with a b-," you are almost always wrong. I don't remember why exactly, but I thought that was kind of funny.Mrs. Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07353984575771207635noreply@blogger.com
