Michael served as an ‘opponent’ on Matthijs Westera‘s thesis defense in Amsterdam last week at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation Universiteit van Amsterdam. The thesis is titled “Exhaustivity and Intonation. A Uni fed Theory“. While there, Michael also presented a paper on “Prosodically marking focus and givenness: What a purely pragmatic account needs to account for” in a satellite workshop to the event.
