Apparently some people are finding an old version when they go to that link. I think it's due to browser cache issues but unfortunately clearing the browser cache has not worked for everyone. Here is a direct link to the current version:

We are grateful to the students and teachers who have sent us feedback, especially Ede Zimmermann, who pointed out a technical error in the presupposition chapter, and David Beaver and Edgar Onea, who helped us solve it.

As an academic, I've spent the last decade feeling vaguely guilty for not using twitter more actively to engage with #academictwitter colleagues and promote my work. I guess this finally ends today!🙃

Do implicatures differ across languages and if so how? BU PhD student @DanielleMDionne and Asst. Prof. @drcopp have a new article out in @glossapsycholx showing how implicatures can depend on the lexicon. Available here: escholarship.org/uc/item/9gh…

Move over “the weather has been delightful”! This is my new favorite example of a(n apparent) violation of Grice’s Maxim of Relevance. #AOC

Judgment please! Suppose I have a half-liter sample of red liquid and a quarter-liter sample of blue liquid.
1) The half-liter sample weighs 0.9 kilograms per liter
2) The half-liter sample weighs 0.9 grams per milliliter
53%
Both sound fine
24%
1 is good, 2 is weird

Thanks y’all!! Looks like half-liter samples can be measured in kilograms per liter. More evidence for a ratio-based analysis of “per”!

Simultaneously appalled at these “incorrect” forms being listed in the back of standard composition notebooks, and proud that my 13 yr-old knows it’s bullshit
ALT Listing of “incorrect” forms like “I be,” “I got to”, “I seen,” “I done” from the back of a school composition notebook, along with their “correct” versions. Pencil note reading “this is wrong and super offensive.”
