DEAL IN CHICAGO

Amy Rose Deal travelled to Chicago last week for the Workshop on Semantic Variation, at which she gave a talk about the mass/count distinction in Nez Perce. (You can read the paper here.) The workshop was a lively occasion with many interesting papers on the semantics of under-studied languages and the ramifications for universals in semantics. Also presenting at the workshop was undergraduate alumna Lauren Winans, now a doctoral student at UCLA, who gave a paper on Disjunction in Egyptian Arabic.
