how we know st. john of the gospel was a morphologist

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:1; emphasis added.

of course.  morphemes bad; paradigms (= words) good.  of course.  and i'm still dancing about the possibility of the shape rules thing i mentioned earlier.  do any of the rest of you ever feel an almost overwhelming urge to walk on your hands or stand on your head?  (i do, but it's always defeated by my even more overwhelming urge not to break my neck.)

As strange as it may sound, I am often overwhelmed with the need to stand on my head, knowing full well that there is no way in hell that I could. I remember the way my yoga instructor just kind of gracefully pops up at random times and think, "I could do that. I want to do that right now."

I can't.
