George Lucas, Semicolons, and Collocations

Just in case you're interested, you can download the powerpoint presentation from today's class here andlearn more about George Lucas here.

If you'dlike some links to other language items that arose today, there's a nice page on the use of semicolons here on the University of Sussex website. I'd also like to draw your attention to some of my previous posts on collocations. I recommend the Oxford Collocations Dictionary to everyone involved in learning or teaching English. If you buy one, you can look up words like heresy, astronomer, astrology, admire, slavery, poverty, and prosperity, all of which were mentioned in class at some point today.
