Dear Linguistics Majors and Minors:

I’m writing to let you know that there will be a party at the Linguistics Department for all Majors and Minors, on Thursday February 10th from 4-5 in room 108 at 18 Seminary Place. Come and meet some of the faculty and TAs, and enjoy snacks and soft drinks. No need to RSVP, just come.

See you there!

Prof. Jane Grimshaw
Undergrad. Director

The solution to assignments 3 and 1 (also handed out in class, 2/1) is now posted on the schedule page.

Assignment 4 is now posted.

Note that according to our rules, and, or, and not are all vacuous (as are main verb be, and the I node.)

There was a typo in Assignment 3 (which has now been corrected, 1/29 12:30PM): For semantic rules 3 and 4, the subscripts on the VPs were wrong. The rules should read VP2 & (where & represents the conjuntion symbol) VP3, and VP2 U VP3.)

A solution to assignment 1 is now posted.

Assignment 3 is now posted.

If you weren't able to get a copy of the textbook, please let me know via email. Thanks.
