It's so delightful to see Language Log considering the same fascinating questions about the competing grammatical, conventional, and metaphoric motivations of preposition choice that I spent an entire PhD dissertation exploring. It's almost tempting to drop a note to that effect to the blog, but I'm not sure I'm quite that forward.

ETA: Ok, ok, I sent off a note to the blog author, including a mention of where the dissertation is available online. I suppose it would be ultra-cool if my name showed up in further discussions on the blog. Almost as cool as having my paper title mentioned in the Kalamazoo Pseudo-Session monologue!

No reason why not. If you're worried about being "pushy" just say so when you post!

"Hey, I don't want to come off as pushy here, but I did write this dissertation you might be interested in....."

Drop the note. I bet they'd love to know.
