East and West of The Pentacrest

Abstract

When I moved to Iowa City in 1998, there was no more glamorous person for me in linguistics than Paula. Always with a cup of coffee in hand and her penetrating sense of humor. Her knowledge of syntax was not just phenomenal but imparted confidently and with immense clarity. Reading group meetings with Paula and Alice and Elena were a syntax-semantics heaven. One more thing I am grateful for: being introduced to Asturias, her favorite place on Earth. To many more years, Paula, with love! -Roumyana Slabakova https://doi.org/10.1075/ihll.33.int 🔒 Available under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license
