Orin Percus Visit
Orin Percus will be semanticist in residence here until tomorrow (April 21). This past Tuesday, Orin lectured in Angelika Kratzer's seminar on pronouns. The topic was his joint work with Uli Sauerland on dream reports (Pronoun movement in dream reports).
Angelika writes:
Orin will be sharing Barbara's office with Ora Matushansky. Orin taught here some years ago, and it was he who got Paula Menendez- Benito, Luis Alonso-Ovalle, Meredith Landman, and Marcin Morzycki hooked on semantics. They were all in his LING 610 class. When he was teaching here, Orin went out of his way to help students with their generals papers, dissertations, and job talks --- with greatest success --- so don't miss the opportunity to talk to him about your work, whatever it may be!
Orin received his PhD from MIT in 1997 with a thesis that has the simple title Aspects of 'A'. It's not about the first letter of the alphabet, but about the indefinite article. He is probably best known for his 2000 landmark article 'Constraints on some other variables in syntax' (Natural Language Semantics 8(3)), which many have read in one of my recent classes.
