MARK NORRIS PRESENTS AT STANFORD

Mark Norris also travelled recently to Stanford to present some of his current research. Mark sent in this report:

I presented some of the results of my research on concord to the Stanford Syntax/Morphology Circle (SMircle) in a talk entitled `Nominal Concord in Estonian.’ The talk was well received; I got some good feedback, and got to talk about some of the bigger questions about concord. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. To top it off, I had dinner with UCSC alumna Vera Gribanova afterwards—just days before her baby daughter was born!

Maziar Toosarvandani will be giving a talk in the same series on Tuesday November 5th at Stanford. Maziar’s title is Agreement in Zazaki and the nature of nominal concord and it reports on joint work with Coppe van Urk of MIT.
