I wanted to let everyone know that, as part of the Semantics Proseminar, Barbara will be giving a special one-hour talk on December 10th at 2PM in the Partee room.
Titled "On the History (and a Bit of Post-History) of Montague's PTQ", this talk will assume some prior familiarity with the content of Montague's seminal paper "The Proper Treatment of Quantification in Ordinary English." That is, unlike some of Barbara's other popular talks on the history of formal semantics, this one will be targeted to 'S-siders' with some technical knowledge of Montague's work. Nevertheless, all are very welcome to attend!
If you'd like to attend Barbara's talk, could you please let me know by Friday? I'd like to get a head count, just in case we need to shift venues.
