Meaning Meeters in Philadelphia
April 15 brings the Ninth MACSIM, or Mid-Atlantic Colloquium for Studies in Meaning, after a pandemic-induced hiatus. Maryland will present five presentations: a talk by Jéssica, and posters from Jingyi, Fëdor, Mal and Caleb Kendrick from Philosophy.
- Jéssica Mendes -The Future Subjunctive in Portuguese
- Jingyi Chen - Anankastic conditionals are modal subordination
- Fëdor Golosov - Semantics of the dual number in Kazym Khanty: A not-at-issue analysis
- Caleb Kendrick - Free choice items in imperatives
- Mal Shah - Against Quantificational Event Semantics
MACSIM is a regional workshop on issues related to meaning in natural language. It consists of oral presentations and posters by graduate students from the participating departments in the Mid Atlantic: NYU, CUNY, Rutgers, Penn, Delaware, Johns Hopkins, Maryland, Georgetown. Faculty from these departments participate in audience discussion. There is also one invited talk by a faculty member, and plenty of time to get to know people and their work. The First MACSIM was at Penn in 2010, and the second at Maryland in 2012. The most recent one, the Eighth, was at NYU in 2019, which provided the photo attached to this post.
