@patrickdelliott yees, should be great, I wanna see 🤓🤓

[Lisa Hofmann @Lisa_Hofmann]

Constraints on anaphora are derived based on discourse consistency and a pronominal existential inference interpreted relative to possible worlds in the local context.

[Lisa Hofmann @Lisa_Hofmann]

Building on analyses of modal subordination, the paper introduces a flat-update dynamic semantics, where expressions with the potential to introduce a discourse referent do so globally, regardless of their embedding context.

I had a great time teaching socioling at YALP

Could a discourse be negative without explicit negation? The answer will *SHOCK* you!

Read "Negativity without negation" (https://t.co/b7S5ZZdhCo)

Today is the last day for early-bird registration for @ESSLLI_official in Ljubljana. @patrickdelliott and I will teach a class about anaphoric accessibility and navigating non-veridical environments in dynamic semantics in week 2. check out the schdule: https://t.co/ulPDbF4Te3

Omw to Paris, to talk about dynamic update and local contexts tomorrow morning at @InstitutNicod #semantics #anaphora #presupposition

@JhendersonIMB Any activity on campus crosses the picket line. The most supportive would be not to go to campus at all, except for participating in activities at the picket. If your students need feedback, you can meet off campus or on the picket as well

me getting ready to explain generalized quantifier theory to undergrads

[Lisa Hofmann @Lisa_Hofmann]

@tmalsburg but like in seriousness, yes it's part of digital literacy and probably the goal should be to achieve this for everyone period (not even limited to university)

[Lisa Hofmann @Lisa_Hofmann]

@tmalsburg oh no, I actually never learned basic /j

Over-reliance on English hinders cognitive science: it has led to premature claims of universality (due to over-sampling of English speakers) and limited the cognitive constructs being examined (due to the use of English as a meta-language). https://t.co/XH56AS0B8K

[Lisa Hofmann @Lisa_Hofmann]

@patrickdelliott nice this completely distracted me from my class prep :) but I have to say that I don't think the imperative thing is actually modal *subordination* (can we argue about this?)

after spending a few days on R prepping for #XPrag #XPragIT, all I can think is

[Daniel Altshuler @Dr_Semantic]

Two pictures from a workshop last week in honor of the 80th birthday of Hans Kamp. So much love, respect and appreciation all around. Thanks to Judith Tonhauser, Daniel Hole, Jonas Kuhn and Antje Rossdeutscher for organizing such an amazing event.
