The department’s open house/interview period has been going on this week (what those in the know call “Circus Days”) and there’s been some strict name-tag-wearing rule enforced. Polly came into syntax with hers, which was:

Polly Jacobson
λP[P(p)]

Simon’s was: [[Simon]]w, gc (And yes, Polly loved Simon’s g.)

And mine?

ιx[semanticist’(x)]

Whenever I came near Polly or Simon at dinner, I threw my hands up in the air and screamed “Undefined! Undefined!” Teehee.
