As a surprise to celebrate our colleague and teacher Kyle Johnson on his birthday (rumored to be an odd birthday), alums Nicholas LaCara, Keir Moulton, and Anne-Michelle Tessier have just unveiled A Schrift to Fest Kyle Johnson, a volume of 43 papers that “celebrates Kyle Johnson’s contribution to linguistics. Written by Johnson’s colleagues and former students, the papers touch upon topics that have defined Johnson’s career, including verb movement, ellipsis, gapping, Germanic, extraposition, quantifiers and determiners, object positions, among others.”

Congratulations from all of us, Kyle, and many happy returns!
