I'm a week into my fellowship at the Forum Basiliense at the University of Basel. It's an incredibly lovely and welcoming University, and I'm really grateful to them for inviting me. I am, however, already panicking about how quickly time is passing.

The sketches are helpful. Although I'm not reading J's book (sorry), this is indeed the kind of picture I had in mind. (I'm using Ismael's How physics makes us free as a proxy. But was also thinking of possible infinite hierarchy, like in List&Pivato.)
My earlier remark was case 1): consistent GoL rules on both levels.
New idea is close to case 2): there could be 'default' rules at the C level, with exceptions caused by certain P.

We're starting with RATT. If you're a fan, which of their albums do you think is the best? And why that one?

Well, all the grading is done and final grades are assigned for one of my academic classes. Taking a break for lunch, and then gotta dive back in and get grading for the other one finished up

So, this is all while the US explicitly opposes specifically this as well. Seems like their attack dog is completely out of control now.

I have been introducing some students to some basic ideas in logic and formal semantics. I used 'forall x: Calgary', and Heim & Kratzer's 'Semantics in Generative Grammar'. Is there an equivalent of the Open Logic Project for semantics or syntax?
