So which subfield of linguistics are you interested in? And why don't you go to LSA summer school?

Anyone went to the Open House at Maryland? How's everything like? I just received an email from a umd prof asking for another round of phone interview. I was interviewed by a different prof. in early Feb. They told me the result will come out next week. I dunt know why they still want to interview their applicants at this moment.

oh, my GRE is as abysmal as yours. I think it's not the major reason that I got rejected but it did limit my choice at the first place. Some programs do set a minimum for application.

Chinese doesn't have the definite article either, only bare nouns. But very different from Indian students, Chinese students tend to overuse the definite article. There is always a "the" before noun phrases. But I think a more severe language problem for Chinese is inflection, though the inflection in English is not rich at all.
