In the picture, commissioned by my employer for PR purposes (??),
I'm holding a very old and smelly donkey. The reason is that, at the time the picture was taken,
my research focused on so-called "donkey anaphora", a linguistic phenomenon
that is exemplified by so-called "donkey sentences". This is a
donkey sentence:
| (1) | every farmer who owns a donkey beats it |
If you want to know more about donkey sentences, consult the lexicon of linguistics.
