Strong UCSC Presence at Amsterdam Colloquium

The 18th Amsterdam Colloquium took place December 19-21, and you can guess where. Besides a rich regular program, there were three workshops: on inquisitiveness, on semantic evidence, and on the semantics and pragmatics of Sign Language. One of the four invited speakers was Donka Farkas, who gave a talk titled “Polarity Particles in English and Beyond”, based on work with past and future LRC visitor Floris Roelofsen. In addition, Adrian Brasoveanu and Jakub Dotlacil had a very well-received poster; alumna Louise McNally, currently at Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, gave two co-authored talks, one of them with former LRC associate Henriette de Swart; alumna Line Mikkelsen was a co-author on a talk given by Daniel Hardt; and alumnus Chris Potts and co-authors had a poster.
