Edith Aldridge on syntax

Your East Asian (and Austronesian!) treasure trove of the day: Dr Edith Aldridge's "Publications" page. Her two papers on Chinese historical syntax are a great 80-page overview of the topic and a fine complement to Pulleyblank's invaluable but more lexeme-centric Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar. Her papers on word order in hentai kanbun also make worthwhile reading if you care about that topic (and I do!). And she's put it all online for free, because she's on the side of good.

Do you have access to "Hentai Kambun Perspective on Short Scrambling?" The link leads me to a login screen; I'm guessing that's not intentional…

I asked the author and it seems that the journal where it was published does restrict public access, but she was awesome enough to send me a copy.

URL will be published, though, so don't enter it if it's a secret. You can use <a href>, but most other tags will be filtered out. (I'll fix it in post-production for you if it seems necessary.)
