Weir goes to Ghent

Andrew Weir writes:

As of this June I will be taking up a post-doctoral position at Ghent University, working with Liliane Haegeman and the Generative Initiatives in Syntactic Theory project, in the "Layers of structure and the cartography” project. I'll be researching left-dislocation structures in Scottish English and beyond, with an eye on how these integrate into cartographic models of the left periphery, as well as how left-dislocation structures mesh with Haegeman's recent 'intervention' proposals for the availability of A'-movement in adverbial clauses.

Congratulations Andrew!
