Howdy y'all. My name is Bruce Banner, really. Proof upon request. This is a really cool name to have, until you try to communicate seriously to people and they think you're using a particularly aggressive and arrogant pseudonym lawlz. I'm currently living in Fort Worth, Texas, enjoying austerity to its fullest.
My degree is in math from UT Austin, with a concentration in physics and a smattering of electrical engineering and pre-med. I'm one of "those" individuals who works on their own theories, but I try to be cool about it. I'll introduce my ideas in due time if at all. I'm a certified teacher in hs math and science (all of them) but I'm not teaching, for a whole variety of reasons, but largely because I'm cooperative but not obedient.
My linguistic interest is the minimalist programme, which I consider a beautiful piece of intellectual work. I've been reading in this subject for about 10-15 years now, or whenever Chomsky published his book by the same name. I've read "Approaching UG from Below", am still making my way through "Phases", and just started reading "The Faculty of Language: What Is It, Who Has It, and How Did It Evolve". I've been exploring this subject by myself since I started reading Chomsky about 30 years ago. UT was not hospitable territory to discuss GG, UG, FL, or MP, so I'm delighted to have finally had the wits to seek out a linguistics forum online. If anyone is willing to discuss and share, I'd be elated and grateful. Anyhoo, that's about it. I hope to hear from someone someday. I'll be around.
