My paper, “𝗥𝗲-𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀: 𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲” has been published in the Journal of Semantics! It's a short read, and challenges the universality of the Agent Control Hypothesis. No paywall, open access: academic.oup.com/jos/advance-...

UBC Linguistics is hosting a joint meeting of SULA and TripleA in Vancouver, on May 12-15, 2026. The call for papers is out now, please spread the word! @sfulinguistics.bsky.social @ucalgaryling.bsky.social @lingsocam.bsky.social @uvichumanities.bsky.social linguistlist.org/issues/36/28...

New paper! Henry Davis and I wrote a paper for the Salish Conference (ICSNL), in which we examine a suffix we call 'intransitive -t.' t-suffixation is found in almost all Salish languages, but we take a deep dive into its use in change-of-state predication in Interior Salish.

Looking to read something for over Christmas break? Our XSyn paper "Underspecified they becomes specified early in sentence processing" is out now. We used some cool methods and found cool results :) You can read it here (open access): doi.org/10.1080/2327... @sfulinguistics.bsky.social

I'll be teaching Intro Morphology and Syntax at the University of Victoria next term. If you have morphological data (e.g., allomorphy, syncretism) that you wouldn't mind to see students practice with, and that exposes students to a wealth of linguistic diversity, please reach out! #linguistics
