Meeting Description: 

Swarthmore Workshop on Negation and Polarity

The phenomenon of negative polarity has proven to be one of the most intricate problems in the study of the syntax-semantics interface. In this workshop, we want to provide a forum for discussion of the issues at hand, and an assessment of current theoretical work as well as its empirical foundations. Attendance is free for all participants.

Invited speakers:

-Jay Atlas (Pomona College)
-Anastasia Giannakidou (U of Chicago)
-Laurence Horn (Yale University)
-Hotze Rullmann (U of British Columbia)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can 
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit 
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more 
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift 
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human 
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns 
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the 
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
