RUDIN AT STANFORD

Last Tuesday (February 23), graduate student Deniz Rudin gave a talk in the SemPrag group at Stanford called “How to disagree with a might-claim: Assessor-sensitivity and the pragmatics of assertion.” After returning over the hill, Deniz filed this report:

In attendance were a mixed group of linguists and philosophers, who asked very good questions of very different kinds. Some grads took me out to lunch afterwards. Special shout-out to Dan Lassiter, who gave me a ride, and grilled me (good-naturedly) about modal logic the whole way back. Always a sincere pleasure.
