Happy Lunar New Year Linguists!

Today marks the beginning of the Spring Semester and already there is quite a lot of activity to report.

Thank you to Li Julie Jiang for her role in the Bok Center Winter Teaching Conference.

Congratulations to Sverre Strausland Johnsen who is beginning postdoctoral work in the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies at UiO: University of Oslo.

Finally, look for a recent article by Greg Scontras and Ted Gibson (MIT) in Language volume 87, number 4 with the title “A quantitative investigation of the imperative–and–declarative construction in English.”

We hope to see you at this week's linguistics events (more below).

All the best,

Your Bloglings
