Semantics Reading Group

From Florian Schwarz:

The new semester is beginning to stop looking so new, and it's about time to have our first SRG meeting. That will be today (Thursday, February 16). As usual, we'll start at 8:00 pm, and we'll be at Jan's house this week.

We'll continue to discuss Kamp and Partee 1995. We should focus on section 5, i.e., the striped (stri[pt], stri[pəd]?) apple case and the related problem for compositionality. Aynat has an interesting handout by a friend of hers from Israel, and I had prepared that section for the last meeting, so we should be all set. Maybe one or two people could prepare to help us get back to speed on the Osheron-Smith Challenge and supervaluations [We volunteer Chris for this ---WHISC eds.]?

We should also take time to discuss what we are doing this semester! There's only two more SRG's before spring break, and one of those will be practice talks by Ilaria and myself for SALT...

See you Thursday!
Florian
