Big news! I am very excited to announce that I will be starting as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Rutgers University this fall! I'm beyond thrilled to be joining such a fantastic department and very much looking forward to everything to come.

Happy to share my collaborative work with Vera Hohaus, "Scope, monotonicity and maximal informativity cannot be underestimated! A compositional analysis of an apparent linguistic illusion," which has just been published in the Proceedings of SALT34! journals.linguisticsociety.org/proceedings/...

Happy to announce that my paper with Jens Hopperdietzel and Andrew Koontz-Garboden on a type-shifting approach to state/change-of-state lability has been accepted–pending minor revisions–at Natural Language Semantics! Happy this will be out soon!

Anyways I had a genuine scientific need to find/recall/google dad jokes in Spanish so please disfrutádlos

Happy to announce I'll be presenting a talk at NACIL4 in Toronto, as well as a poster at WCCFL43 in Seattle! The NACIL talk is about the form and semantics of memory reports in Persian and Sorani Kurdish, and the WCCFL poster is about an understudied use of re- in English. Fun!

Happy to report I'll be giving a talk and a poster presentation at this year's Sinn und Bedeutung! Looking forward to Sicily in September!

Off to Nantes for TripleA 11! Very much looking forward to the conference, which was my favorite last year, as well as checking out a city in France other than Paris!

Heading out for SALT34 tomorrow, where I'll be presenting joint work with Vera Hohaus on "Scope, monotonicity and maximal informativity cannot be underestimated! A compositional analysis of an apparent linguistic illusion." Looking forward to it!

Happy to announce I'll be giving a talk at CLS60 this year on my most recent work: "Growth and improvement: a quality semantics for result state nominals." Very excited to present on this!

Recently realized I wrote in a job application that I was writing to apply to the department's "tenure-track Visiting Assistant Professor position." 🤦‍♂️

At least one of us will be there to present "Scope, monotonicity and maximal informativity cannot be underestimated ! A compositional analysis of an apparent linguistic illusion." Very much looking forward to it!

Pleased to announce that my paper "Mental states via possessive predication: the grammar of possessive experiencer complex predicates in Persian," has been accepted for publication in Natural Language Semantics! Many thanks to everyone who played a role in the development of this paper!

Semantics teachers! The Spring 2024 edition of “Invitation to Formal Semantics” is now up at: eecoppock.info/semantics-bo... This release includes important fixes in Chapters 6, 12, and 13. Feedback remains very much appreciated as always!

Made it to the Sheraton in NYC! Ready to party (read: do linguistics lol)!

Getting ready to fly to NYC for the LSA tomorrow! Excited to see some cool linguistics and catch up with some friends. If you'll happen to be there and want to say hi, don't be a stranger!

Hope they keep this title.

Pulled off a 10k for the first time in 3 years the other day! Gonna try to keep it up, hoping to get back to the level of fitness I had pre-covid.

Managed to pull off a 5k for the first time since probably 2020. Been a slog to get back in shape, but I'm working on it!

Gonna give this Bluesky thing a try!
