ROBERTS IN ESTONIA
Tom Roberts spent the summer writing, reading, and thinking about attitude verbs and clausal complementation, including several weeks of fieldwork and travel in Estonia. There, in addition to unraveling the mysteries of complementizers, he was able to see a moving Arvo Pärt concert in the rural island province of Hiiumaa, alongside 2018 PhD alum and Estonian choral music enthusiast Kelsey Kraus. The event took place in the historic Pühalepa Church, the island’s oldest at a respectable 764 years old, just shy of the median age of concert attendees.
