It gives me great pleasure to announce the arrival on October 11 of our Fall Semantics Guru:
ROGER SCHWARZSCHILD, RUTGERS UNIVERSITY
http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~tapuz/
Roger will be delivering the colloquium on October 21. It will be about comparatives. He has also agreed to give a more explorative and specialized talk in my seminar on October 18: that talk will be on nouns as eventuality predicates and the mass/count distinction. I will announce the room for the seminar session in a later message: for now, mark your calendar - everyone is most welcome.
The main function of a guru is to enlighten us individually. Roger will be using my office, and I am setting up a schedule for him. Please e-mail me for an appointment with him with your availabilities. Roger has worked on a wide range of topics, including plurals, givenness and focus, comparatives, and measure phrases. He is easy to talk to and you can try out any topic on him.
