News from Barbara and Volodja
Barbara and Volodja are as busy as ever.
On April 3, they gave a departmental colloquium at the University of Canterbury: 'Puzzles of predicate possessives'.
On May 9, Barbara will give a colloquium in the Philosophy Department at Canterbury: 'Negation and intensionality: A puzzle in the logic of natural language revised'. That's a revised and updated version of her Smith talk.
Finally (for this month), on May 18, Barbara and Volodja will visit Victoria University of Wellington, for a Linguistics Deptartment colloquium called 'The semantics of Russian genitive of negation: The nature and role of perspectival Structure'.
Barbara also sends news of her extra-curricular adventures, the latest with
Morriss and Sean and David and Carol, who came over from the US, and indulging in hot springs and wine-tasting and bird-watching and exotic-tree-identifying
And I must close with a shocking confession: next Wednesday I have cancelled my class because we ran into a recursive conflict with air and boat schedules while trying to book an overnight cruise in Doubtful Sound in Fiordland (a spectacular part of South Island), and given a choice between (a) not going on that cruise at all and forfeiting the cost of our non-refundable airplane tickets, and (b) cancelling class [!], I asked my department head if cancelling class was thinkable and she said it was so I did! And then we had some discussion in class of various words for "playing hooky" (in the North Island it's 'wagging' and in the South Island it's 'bunking', if I remember right). First time in my life I've done it! Well, better late than never!
[Thanks Barbara!]
