Professor Ryan Walter Smith recently presented a joint project at Sinn und Bedeutung 31, an international conference in semantics and pragmatics held at Nantes Université in Nantes, France. Dr. Smith and Rutgers alumna Yağmur Sağ gave a talk titled “Plurals of plural pronouns in Turkish.” The presentation highlights Smith’s ongoing interest in plurality and cross-linguistic questions in semantics and pragmatics.
This year, Sinn und Bedeutung 31 brought together researchers working across semantics and pragmatics for its main session in Nantes from September 2–4, following a pre-conference workshop on plurality and distributivity.
