There will be no Meaning Group meeting on April 4 to make room for the three-day UConn/MCMP workshop, which takes place April 4-6 and features lots of interesting talks, some of them by members of our group. Contact the Logic Group for details.

We are skipping our regular meeting this week in order to leave some room so that everyone has the opportunity to take full advantage of the visit by Manfred Krifka later this week, as well as Roumyana Pancheva’s colloquium visit on  Friday. Contact us for details on either of those visits.

We will be discussing the paper “Embedding Illocutionary Acts” by Manfred Krifka.

We’ll wrap up Ippolito at that point and make plans for the near future.

Due to multiple travel-related absences, the meaning group will skip this week and meet again next Tuesday, February 28. We’ll wrap up Ippolito at that point and make plans for the near future.
