Andrew McKenzie (2012 UMass PhD) will give the Department Colloquium on March 24 at 3:30 in ILC N400. The title of Andrew’s talk is:

Sources of intensionality in Kiowa noun incorporation and English synthetic compounds.

Here is the abstract for the talk.

Andrew McKenzie is an Assistant Professor of Linguistics and an Affiliate Professor in Indigenous Studies at the University of Kansas. He specializes in Formal Semantics and Linguistic Fieldwork, with a focus on Native American languages, in particular Kiowa.

Andrew’s talk will be followed by a reception in the department with wine, cheese, and cookies. We’ll go out for dinner afterwards with whoever wants to come along. I will send around a sign-up sheet.

Andrew will also give a more informal talk on Switch Reference on Thursday, March 23 at 5:00 PM (room to be announced – if in doubt, go wherever Carolyn, Kimberly, or Leah go). And there will be plenty of time for individual appointments with Andrew (watch out for another sign-up sheet).
