last week’s mini-workshop featured frank veltman. he was trying out his new paper on imperatives and permission. y’know, explaining stuff like Ross’s paradox:

eat your veggies! doesn’t entail eat your veggies or eat some ice cream!

and (performative) free-choice permission puzzles:

you may eat your veggies or some ice cream entails you may eat some ice cream

craige roberts was in town to give comments and a good time was had by all.
