If you (or your students) would benefit from a summer institute that features introductory courses in theoretical linguistics and analytic philosophy, consider YALP, taking place June 29 - July 10 in Yerevan, Armenia. Spread the word! linguistlist.org/issues/37-697 sites.google.com/view/yalp201...

Thanks to @lingsocam.bsky.social for the Mentoring Award. Teaching and learning from my mentees is the best part of my job. I owe it to them for this recognition. (Wish I could have made it to the LSA this year, but at home teaching and mentoring my newborn). Photo credit @colinphillips.bsky.social
