On March 23, Barbara Partee and Volodja Borschev gave a talk in Russian at a research seminar at IPI RAN, a computational linguistics institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, 'Existential and locative sentences – What distinguishes them? Theme-rheme structure or diathesis?'.

On March 31, Barbara was invited to talk for the 100th seminar in V.A. Uspensky’s seminar series (now in its 51st year!) Applications of mathematical methods in linguistics; her talk was 'Type theory and natural language: Do we need two basic types?', based on her squib in Krifka’s 50th birthday fest.

On April 6, Barbara is an invited speaker in a Moscow student syntax conference, where she’ll give 'A brief history of the syntax-semantics interface in western formal linguistics'.

On April 13, Barbara and Volodja will give a version in Russian of their FASL 14 paper for the Cognitive Linguistics program at the University of Kazan.

And on May 6, their Gang of Five will give a new paper at FASL 16 at Stony Brook: Borschev, Paducheva, Partee, Testelets, and Yanovich, 'Russian genitives, non-referentiality, and the property-type hypothesis' (abstract PDF here).
