Linguistics
October 17-18 at the annual meeting of the
Cognitive Development Society,
Tyler Knowlton argues that "Concepts of universal quantification ("each" and "all") may support infant and adult understanding of collective and distributive actions," in a poster reporting joint work with
Nicolò Cesana-Arlotti and
Justin Halberda from Johns Hopkins, plus our own
Jeffrey Lidz and
Paul Pietroski. This year's meeting is in Louisville, Kentucky, which the CDS describes as "one of the most uniquely authentic destinations on the planet," and as "an entirely different type of Southern." The city is also named after the final King of France, Louis XVI, who was guillotined in 1793, thirteen years after the honor, bestowed for his support of the American Revolution.
