FARKAS AT CORNELL

On Thursday, November 6, Donka Farkas gave a colloquium at Cornell entitled Assertions, questions and the land in between. Donka sent WHASC the following report:

My talk reported on joint work I am doing with former LRC visitor, Floris Roelofsen. I then stayed on for the annual linguistics and philosophy workshop organized by Sarah Murray and William Starr. The theme this year was the semantics of plurals. The program of the conference featured two UCSC alums: Robert Henderson (Wayne State) was one of the presenters, and Chris Barker (NYU) was one of the commentators. It was an extremely enjoyable conference, with interesting talks and good, animated discussion. Sara and Will did a great job organizing it all seamlessly.
