Information Structure and Anaphora
"I'll present some preliminary results showing
effects of focus structure on the interpretation
of various forms of event anaphora. If there's
extra time, I'll ask the group for feedback on
some designs in progress."

The scope of indefinites and experimental
semantics
"I
will present some classic data concerning the
"exceptional" scope taking
properties of singular indefinites, along with
the relevant analyses that
have been proposed. I will then present some ideas
for using experimental
approaches to gain insight into a proper theoretical
treatment of
indefinites, hoping to get feedback on data, methodology,
etc."

What
about babbling together about scalar implicatures
and the recent proposal by Chierchia et al.
that they are calculated locally and that we should
look at the semantics/pragmatics interface in a
different way? |
