Rudy -

Your point about prductive and receptive competencies is an excellent example

of some of the psycholinguistic boats we are missing as variationists. How one

processes input from radically different underlying systems is another

challenge to the monolithic (or actually absurdly polylithic) notion of the

classic notion of linguistic competence.
