Another wholesome linguistics post: I love getting out with the UIUC Ling folx, and hanging out in nature. Always nice to trade in syntax trees for real ones for an afternoon.

So excited about Jeff’s new textbook! Jeff was my advisor and mentor when I did my MA. We both joined the university the same year, and he was and still is a really monumental piece in my journey through the world of linguistics. 🤩
