DONKA FARKAS TRAVELS TO CHICAGO

On November 19th Donka Farkas travelled to the University of Chicago to give a talk in the Workshop in Linguistics and Philosophy series. The goal of the workshop is to bring together philosophers and linguists working on issues of meaning in natural language, in an effort to stimulate discussion across disciplinary lines. The topic of the Workshop during the 2013-14 academic year is Information Sensitivity. Donka’s topic was Assertions, Polar Questions, and the Land in Between, and she reports: I greatly enjoyed talking to alum Chris Kennedy, colleagues in Linguistics and in Philosophy, and Chris’s grad students, all doing fascinating work.
