Syntax Guru, Hamida Demirdache, takes up residence

Hamida Demirdache, director of the Laboratoire de Linguistique de Nante and professor of linguistics at University of Nantes, will be taking up her guru duties on Monday, April 9th, until Thursday, April 26th. Professor Demirdache has done extensive work on resumptive pronouns and, in recent years, has worked on the syntax and semantics of questions and on the first language acquisition of constituent questions. She is also known for her work on tense, and its interaction with modals and aspect.

You can find her hanging out in the guru office (aka Barbara Partee's office), on the third floor of South College. If you'd like to make an appointment with her, she can be emailed at hamida.demirdache@univ-nantes.fr

Hamida is wonderful to talk to. Take advantage of her guruness early and often!
