« UMass Amherst Linguists in Aalborg | Main | Acquisition Lab Meeting»

Semantics Reading Group

The SRG meets today (April 6), at Jan's house. All but infinitely many interested parties are welcome to attend and to bring some beverage or other.

The plan is to continue the quantifier discussion from last time, by discussing papers by Angelika Kratzer and (Indefinites and the operators they depend on: From Japanese to Salish) and Lisa Matthewson (Quantification and the nature of cross-linguistic variation), in addition to the Ed Keenan paper from last time (Some properties of natural language quantifiers).

At the meeting after this one (April 20), there will again be student presentations. Jan Anderssen will give a practice talk for WCCFL 25, and Shai Cohen will present some of his current work.

If you have something you've been working on that you would like to discuss, please let Florian or Jan know! It doesn't necessarily have to be something that fills an entire meeting --- several people could present small things.

Finally, Florian has put handouts from SALT 16 in his department mailbox, in case you are interested in any of them. Please put these back after copying.

[Thanks Florian!]
