Greetings and Salutations

 Malcolm Elliott

University of Chicago

Department of Linguistics

Later on, more interesting things will occupy this space. For now, just the basics:

I am a third year graduate student here at the University of Chicago. I received my B.A. in philosophy and linguistics from the University of Arizona. Broadly, I am interested in pragmatics, formal semantics discourse analysis and syntactic theory. My particular interests include expressions of empathy within language and the investigation of factors influencing these expressions cross-linguistically. I frequently flaunt maxims for the sake of comedy. I've also been known to dabble in the philosophy of language when I'm feeling sassy.

Some professional links.

Some fun links.
