Summary/Abstract: When I first took Chuck’s seminar as a graduate student, I had little understanding what Chuck’s enterprise was all about. Not being a native English speaker, I must say that I was oft en unable to follow Chuck’s machine-gun like talk at first, and especially when he got excited about the data that I and the other students had brought to class to study. In fact, many of my fellow non-native speaking students would wind up bringing tape-recorders to class, recording Chuck’s brilliant impromptu analyses, and later playing the tape back at slower speeds, in order to understand all that he was saying. But no matter how hard we tried to analyze our data like Chuck did, what we would come up with would be superficial imitation in comparison.
