• smallest constituency
• but the one that might gain the most visibility, and make the most dramatic contributions.

• CAN the same environment support both beginning students and advanced scholars without compromising the opportunities of either ???
• linguistic, eg
• laboratory
  • physiology of reading
  • physiology of morphological and syntactic processing
• corpus analysis, eg
  • diachronic change
• pedagogical, eg
• laboratory
  • physiology of SLA
  • individual differences in literacy skills, etc
  • learner corpus analysis
  • errors typical of different L1s

• philological, eg
• attribution and dating texts
• reconstruction of missing texts- eg the Greek of Galen
• stylistic analysis
• topic modeling (of texts and authors and cultures, places and times, genres and social classes, age groups etc, etc.)
