Hello all:
As a final project for a Linguistics course, we are doing a semantic analysis
of restroom graffiti. If anyone has favorite examples of graffiti they have
seen, could you PLEASE send them to me ASAP, along with their location. I am
especially seeking examples of graffiti that are ambiguous in their meaning,
so that they can be read in ways other than what the writer intended to say.
As well, if anyone has a collection of "GROUT" sayings, please send that my
way as well.
All submissions used will be acknowledged in the footnotes of the paper. (And
I know that there is NOTHING most of you want more than an acknowledgement in
a stinkin' U.C. Santa Cruz lower division Linguistics paper...)
Please hurry, as this paper is due next week. If everyone reading this writes
down one piece of graffiti and sends it to me, I will have ONE full mailbox.
Thank you! Send submissions to mswalsh@cats.ucsc.edu
Mark
PS: I'd be especially interested in graffiti from women's restrooms, as I
don't get in there so often...
