This year, we were honoured to welcome Prof. Veneeta Dayal (Yale University) to Queen Mary University of London.
Veneeta Dayal’s research focuses on the semantics of natural language, and its interface with syntax and pragmatics, typically from a cross-linguistic perspective. The topics she has worked on can be classified under four broad categories: Questions and relative clauses; Bare nominals and genericity; Free choice items; Syntactic structure of Hindi. Veneeta completed her PhD at Cornell University in 1991. From 1990 to 2019 she was a faculty member in Linguistics and a Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University. Presently, she is Dorothy R. Diebold Professor of Linguistics at Yale University.
We are delighted to make the slides from Veneeta's three excellent workshops available to download below.
Demonstrative to Definite, What Changes and What Stays the Same
Demonstratives, Definites, Bare Nouns: What Competes with What
(In)definiteness in Article-less Languages and Article Use in New Englishes
