Maybe I'm the last person to learn this, but just maybe it may help some
others. It seems that many French museums do not charge admission to
teachers. Just show your faculty card, and--if requested--some
confirming ID like passport or driver's license, and you get "entree
gratuite." None of the museums where my wife and I used this technique
had any reference to it posted publically--your're just supposed to know
it. This rule applies only to state and city museums like the Louvre,
not to private museums like the Marmottan or the Musee du monde arabe.
Most of the time the deal is good only for general admission; you still
have to pay to see special exhibits (though at the Musee des arts
populaires in the Bois de Boulogne we got in free even to the special
exhibit). This makes bopping into the Louvre for a quick look at some
special part of the permanent collection very attractive--bypass the
long ticket lines and go straight to the ticket collectors at the
entrance.

Well, for all my moaning and complaining about the failure
of scholars to cite _Computers and the Humanities_, I must
stand corrected. John Price-Wilkins of U. Virginia notes
the following citation from the OED:
OED Entry Search
Term: lemmatization
Found: 1 match(es)
lemmatization
lemmatization le_ma't@ize+i-S@n. f. next + -ation. The action or process of
lemmatizing; an instance of this.
1967 Computers & Humanities II. 75 Method:... 3. Alphabetic sorting into
word forms with context. 4. Lemmatisation.
1971 A. J. Aitken in R. A. Wisbey Computer in Lit. & Ling. Res. 14 The
methods of lemmatization..so far mentioned necessitate informing the
computer explicitly of the destination in terms of head&dubh;word of
every single instance of each word which it has to treat.
1972 Computers & Humanities VI. 212 Not all lemmas could, of course,
be made to come out correctly from the computer... In fact, the
accomplished wrong lemmatizations are more notable than the missing
correct ones.
BIG TIME!!
