First Year Linguists Rules

Nobu
[+phonology
+phonetics
+morphology(?)
-syntax
-historical linguistics
-sociolinguistics]

Janie
[-phonology
-phonetics
+morphology(?)
+syntax
-historical linguistics
+sociolinguistics]

Kyung-Ae
[-phonology
-phonetics
+morphology
+syntax
-historical linguistics
+sociolinguistics]

Joey
[-phonology
+phonetics
+morphology
+syntax
-historical linguistics
-sociolinguistics]


* ? indicates my doubts; even though they insist they're +morphology linguists, there are some evidences which make me question if they are really +morphology.

* Rules for future variant

1. Socioculturalization of Nobu

Nobu -> Nobu / Janie _____ Kyung-Ae
[-socio] [+socio] [+socio] [+socio]


2. Koreanization of Joey

Joey -> Joey / Janie _____ Kyung-Ae
[-Korean] [+Korean] [+Korean] [+Korean]

hey sociolinguists deal with phonology too! You being +socio doesn't mean you'll become -phonology. Ignorant phonologist...

Well, it would be great if one could at least be comfortable with everything/most things in linguistics - but I guess I'm asking for too much. Here's my profile:

Ed
[+phonetics]
[+phonology]
[+discourse]
[+morphology]
[+socio]
[+/- syntax (depends on project and how I'm feeling]
[+hist. ling]
([+ Austronesian])
[-semantics]

I know there should be other features that I can use.
