Of course, I'd point out that "[t]hings should be made as simple as 
possible -- but no simpler." Although another way of phrasing Einstein's 
famous dictum is "I prefer my simplistic nonsense to your over-complicated 
nonsense". :-)

So, be careful of what I say! Even though I am skeptical of 
post-structuralism (which is (kind of) skeptical about structuralism, and 
hence about Hjelmslev in particular), that doesn't make me an ally of 
structuralism - it just means I can make informed guesses about what will 
get you a high grade. :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
