DONKA FARKAS IN MEXICO

Donka Farkas travelled to Mexico City at the end of the week to give a talk in the Seminario de Sintaxis y Semántica of the Colegio de Mexico. The talk itself was on Thursday January 30th and Donka’s title was Yes and no in English and beyond. On the day following the colloquium, an informal workshop was held in which members of the research-group led by Josefina Garcia Fajardo presented their work—on indefinites in Spanish and in Yucatec-Maya. Donka provided this report on her trip:

I just got back from a brief trip to Mexico City where I gave a talk at the Colegio de Mexico, and listened to fascinating work on indefinites done by a lively group led by Josefina Garcia Fajardo, which includes our own Rodrigo Gutiérrez Bravo. It was a great joy to see how well Rodrigo is doing, and meet the cohesive group he is working in. He sends his warm regards to the linguists at UCSC.
