Tom Roeper - summer activities

Tom Roeper had a busy summer. In June he presented at a conference on Recursion at ZAS in Berlin (along with Bart Hollebrandse, and Angeliek van Hout). He also presented at a conference on Sentence Types in Frankfurt, on "Vacate Phase" (also presentatons by other former department members Peter Sells, Edwin Williams and Luigi Rizzi). Tom went to South Africa to advise scholars working on the DELV on the test and gave lectures in Stellenborsh, Capetown, and at the University of Lesotho (and managed to do some pony-trekking with Tim Roeper on the side). The DELV, developed in part for AAE, has been translated into Afrikaans, CAAPS, and South African Black English.
