Presentation on #clavier network for #eurocall14

1. Growing like Topsy.
Describing grass roots growth.
Teresa MacKinnon
Principal Teaching Fellow, University of Warwick.

2. "Tell me where were you born, and who your father and
mother were."
"Never was born," re-iterated the creature more
empahatically. "Never had no father, nor mother nor
nothin'"
"...Have you ever heard anything about God, Topsy?" The
child looked bewildered, but grinned as usual.
"Do you know who made you?"
"Nobody, as I knows on," said the child, with a short laugh.
The idea appeared to amuse her considerably; for her eyes
twinkled, and she added, "I spect I grow'd. Don't think
nobody never made me."
