Paula Menéndez Benito (2005 UMass PhD) writes that the paperwork for her tenured position at the University of Tübingen, one of Germany’s designated Universities of Excellence, has just come through. Paula will be joining one of the most lively and high-powered semantics scenes in Europe. Interdisciplinary semantic research in Tübingen is fed by several departments and a collaborative research center on the Constitution of Meaning directed by Sigrid Beck. Paula is currently a visiting professor in Göttingen. From September 2014 to September 2016, she was a Marie Curie Fellow at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. Her Marie Curie project investigated the expression of modality in the determiner domain. Continuing this research agenda, Paula’s current work “aims to situate modal determiners in a typology of modal expressions by undertaking a systematic comparison between determiner and verbal modality.”
