Christina Kim in Linguistics and Philosophy

克里斯蒂娜·金博士系的讲师glish Language & Linguistics, has just published an article in the journal Linguistics and Philosophy, entitled ‘The Division of Labor in Explanations of Verb Phrase Ellipsis’, co authored with Jeffrey T Runner (University of Rochester, USA).

语言学和哲学是一个季度journal that focuses on issues related to structure and meaning in natural language, as addressed in the semantics, philosophy of language,Â pragmatics and related disciplines. The journal began 1977.
这article examines the phenomenon of Verb Phrase Ellipsis (VPE), a syntactic construction where the main verb is omitted from a sentence, as in the second sentence in: ‘Christina emailed Mike. Jeff will, too.’

Ellipsis, or the omission of a word, has been a central topic in theoretical syntax and semantics for decades, in part because theories of ellipsis must explain how a sentence containing ellipsis is nevertheless interpreted as though missing elements in the sentence are still present (the above sentence is understood as Jeff will email Mike, too’). Much of the debate has centred around the nature of the relationship between the ellipsis site (‘Jeff will, too’) and the antecedent clause (‘Christina emailed Mike’), which the meaning of the ellipsis seems to depend on. The article presents an empirical study of acceptability in Verb Phrase Ellipsis, and argues for a particular division of labour between grammatical requirements and discourse constraints.

小刀艾米·李（Amy Li）关于文学边界

Dr Xiaofan Amy Li, Lecturer in the Department of Comparative Literature, has contributed an essay to the newly published edited volume Minding Borders: Resilient Divisions in Literature, the Body and the Academy (Legenda, 2017).

这essay, entitled ‘When Do Different Literatures Become Comparable? The Vague Borders of Comparability and Incomparability’, explores the state of the discipline of Comparative Literature as a matter of crossing borders, and considers how far discussions, in the philosophy of comparison can revise critical thinking and methods in comparative literature.

这edited book Minding Borders, where the essay is published,Â traces the troubling and yet generative resilience of borders. It explores how borders define as well as exclude, protect as well as violate, and nurture some identities while negating others. A book launch event was held on the 27 November 2017 at St Anne’s College, Oxford, where Amy joined the discussion with the editors Matthew Reynolds, Adriana X. Jacobs, Ben Morgan, Mohamed-Salah Omri, and Nicola Gardini.

University Chamber Choir students work with leading British composer

Students in the University Chamber Choir had the opportunity to work with one of Britain’s leading composers in rehearsal on Tuesday 28 November, in preparation for singing in the University Carol Service in Canterbury Cathedral.

这choir was privileged to welcome Russell Hepplewhite to Colyer-Fergusson Hall, to work on Russell’s Star of the East. It can be a daunting prospect, performing a composer’s work in their presence, but the Choir rose to the occasion magnificently.

Hailed by the Evening Standard as one of the brightest young talents to have emerged in recent years, Russell’s award-winning work has been commissioned to critical acclaim by English Touring Opera, and his choral works are part of the recent Genesis Choral Library series launched by Banks Music Publications. His next work, ‘Moonfleet,’ is set to open at the Salisbury Playhouse in April.

对于学生来说，这是一个很棒的机会，可以与作曲家掌握当代音乐，从而为他们提供了有关作品及其实现的见解。非常感谢罗素从伦敦降下来，尤其是参加活动。

国际学生新年晚餐

这Student Learning Advisory Service would like to invite all International Students to a traditional New Year’s Dinner on Friday 5 January 2018 (during the winter vacation), 18.00-20.00 on the Canterbury campus. The venue will be confirmed nearer the time.

This is a great opportunity for you to enjoy an evening of traditional British food, to meet up with the other ‘stay on campus students’, to enjoy some music and break the monotony of the winter holiday. The dress code is smart casual, but feel free to dress up if you wish.

此活动是免费的，但请最迟在12月7日之前在线预订。门票将于12月2日至17日在第一次上映的基础上发行。您将收到一封提醒电子邮件来收集您的票。

If you are around during the holidays, book a placehere。

Condolences for Colin Seymour-Ure

这School of Politics and International Relations is very sad to hear of the death of Professor Colin Seymour-Ure.

科林是肯特大学政治研究的创始人之一，并于1965年加入该大学。

他曾担任社会科学院长和系主任。他是世界领先的政治传播和大众媒体学者之一。

His publications cover the role of the press and broadcasting in a wide range of issues and institutions: Downing Street and White House news management; election campaigns; images of Tony Blair and John Major in the太阳andDaily Mirror;新闻党派；媒体男爵的力量；媒体政策；政治谣言。他撰写了伟大的漫画家大卫·洛（David Low）的传记，并帮助了由格雷厄姆·托马斯（Graham Thomas）博士（Prosper）创立的英国卡通档案馆。

Seymour-Uure教授是Hansard Society的理事会成员，由议会工作人员和学术界组成的议会小组研究主席。在1970年代，他在政府新闻委员会工作了两年。后来，他在哈佛大学以及华盛顿，澳大利亚和加拿大工作。六年来，他主持了独立电视委员会的主席，负责就ITV的广告规则提供建议。他从2002年开始担任名誉教授，直到2017年11月去世。

我们不仅失去了一个学者和同事，而且失去了一个朋友。
