Requesting several minor edits

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Thank you for creating this page! I want to start by disclosing that I currently work part-time for Maria Polinsky. The article is very well-researched, but we noticed some small inaccuracies, so am suggesting them for editing here.

After "She has also been an active practitioner of experimental work on understudied languages, in the fieldwork setting.", the following references might be appropriate:

In addition to Language, she has been an associate editor of Natural Language and Linguistic Theory

She is no longer on the editorial board of Studies in Language

Thanks for all your work! Let me know if you have any other questions or if I myself made any errors above!

Update: As there don't seem to be a lot of editors on this page, and the changes are purely factual, I've made the edits myself. Apologies, but this seemed the most practical in the current case. Acorver ( talk) 12:53, 14 September 2015 (UTC) reply
