Gennaro Chierchia UMass Amherst Graduate Alum Lecture

The UMass Amherst Graduate School is celebrating A Century of Scholarship (1908-2008) on Wednesday, April 9. One of the invited speakers is our own Gennaro Chierchia. Gennaro received his PhD from UMass Amherst Linguistics in 1984 with a now-classic dissertation Topics in the Syntax and Semantics of Infinitives and Gerunds. He is currently the Haas Foundations Professor of Linguistics at Harvard.

Gennaro's talk is from 1:30-3:00 on Campus Center Room 904. The title is 'Logic and grammar: How language and reasoning shape each other'.
