PARTEE PARTY
On Saturday, September 18, South College linguists from all over will gather to celebrate the retirement of Barbara Partee. (Has retirement slowed Barbara up? Well, see here.) |
 |
There will be a poster session from 10:00-12:00 am in the Math Lounge, at the top of the Graduate Research Tower. From 12:00-2:00 pm, we'll have lunch in the Math Lounge, as well as a few special presentations. Any and all are invited to say a few words (scholarly, humorous, nostalgic, etc.).
Finally, we'll head to Barbara's house (50 Hobart Lane) for the traditional fall picnic, where there will be food (partly potluck, partly catered), games, conversation, mosquitoes ...
Bring children if you've got them. We will arrange for childcare during the poster session, and they are be most welcome at the (very informal) lunch and the picnic at Barbara's house.

Those of you who have written dissertations know that the pressure really kicks in after the defense. The committee members make their demands, deadlines loom large, and fickle formatting guidelines take over the wee hours of the morning. So we at WHISC wholeheartedly congratulate the following South College Linguists for making it through this difficult period. All receive the "Dr." honorific for at least the duration of this item.

GRANTS TO BARBARA PARTEE
Newly emerita Professor Barbara Partee opens her retirement years with two substantial grants for the 2004-2005 academic year.
One is a Fulbright Teaching Fellowship, which will allow Barbara to continue her extensive teaching in Moscow, at Russian State University of the Humanities (RGGU) and Moscow State University (MGU), from January to June of 2005. For additional information on this grant, click this banner:
Warmest thank-yous to Colin Powell and the rest of his State Department!
Barbara, with her co-PI Vladimir Borschev, also received a three-year National Science Foundation grant. The title of the grant is The Russian Genitive of Negation: Integration of Lexical and Compositional Semantics. Like the Fulbright, this grant seeks to establish stronger connections between U.S. and Russian linguistics.
