Editors' disclaimers

Just want to add a disclaimer on my work on this article: as you can see by my user page, I'm a student at Brigham Young University where much of the research on A.M. has taken place. I promise that this is not meant as a tribute to a favorite professor or anything like that. I was just browsing through the library a few days ago and came across this book, found it interesting, and looked to see if there was any info about it on Wikipedia. I've never even had Dr. Skousen as a professor, although now I think that I would like to! --RockRockOn 19:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd better add my own disclaimer. I have done original research on AM, but I will not post it here; rest assured, you will get citations to other people's peer-reviewed publications for every fact I contribute. eritain 09:39, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Copyright

I'm taking a great deal of the formulae and examples directly from Skousen 1989. I assume that this is fine as long as I don't lift the actual text of his discussion, but let me know if there are any issues I should be aware of. --RockRockOn 05:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

You're fine under both copyright law and academic ethics as long as you put quote marks around quotes and cite everything you owe a debt to. Fair use law favors transformative use, and transforming a technical book into an accessible encyclopedic article qualifies.

Meanwhile, I'm taking a great deal of my discussion directly from my own honors thesis. Copyright cops, you are on notice: Article text that resembles Nathan E. Rasmussen's Analogical modeling of pronunciation: Vowels in English monosyllables is neither dishonest nor illicit, for I am he. eritain 09:39, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Citations and references

I'm new to all the fancy template-based syntax for providing citations. So I cite Skousen 2003, but I don't know if the cite template has facilities for off-WP pdf articles, and I didn't use it. Feel free to fix it if you know better. Truth to tell, the cite template covers books and journals, but I very much doubt it covers all the weird quasipublications (letters, xeroxed manuscripts, preprints of every description) that linguists are so fond of. eritain 09:56, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

A couple more flexible, in-line form of citations are found here (harv) and here (superscripts). The former has you define the full citation at the bottom, then reference it (like BibTeX) in the article, which produces something like (Smith, 2004) in the text and the full citation in the references section. The later has you define the full citation in the middle of article, produces something like "^[2]" in the article and "^Smith, Bob (2004). Some title. etc. " in the references section, after invoking <references/> there. Both types have their place I suppose. I tend to use the first type for more academic articles (since it gives you the "(Smith, 2004)" in the article), and the second type for most other types of articles (since they're less maintenance). –jonsafari 15:29, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Ugly list of perhaps-usable sources

Here's an ugly list of articles, either on AM or on other exemplar-based models, that we might end up needing to cite. It's biased toward spelling-to-sound tasks because, again, that was my specific interest; but I think I've tossed out all the non-exemplar-related stuff from it. I'm mostly just pasting up here (a) so that it will be handy if/when I yoink more thesis text, in case there are citations to add to the References, and (b) so that you, who are nearer to the BYU library than I am, can see if any of the sources interest you for further reading.

TODO

I think this page needs an actual example of classification. It also needs an explanation of the algorithm used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garfieldnate (talk • contribs) 17:16, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
