DONKA FARKAS GIVES INVITED TALK IN ROMANIA

During winter break Donka Farkas traveled to snow-covered Bucharest to participate in a conference on the syntax and semantics of specificity, organized by Alexandra Cornilescu. She gave a paper co-authored with her fellow invited speaker, Adrian Brasoveanu. (This was a special honor, given that both Adrian and Donka started their careers in linguistics as students of Alexandra’s in Bucharest.) UCSC was further represented at this conference by two former LRC visitors, Klaus von Heusinger (University of Cologne), and Larisa Avram (University of Bucharest). Donka was particularly pleased to see a whole new crop of bright young linguists doing first rate work at the University of Bucharest.
