The Faculty is delighted to congratulate Anna Paradís and Chenzi Xu on the award of Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships. Anna will investigate the syntax of partial control (seen for instance in 'Sally wants to meet', where the subject of 'to meet' is Sally and one or more other people...and so only partially Sally) in several underexplored Romance varieties, while Chenzi will investigate the language-internal history of tones across diverse tone languages, from tone creation all the way to tone loss.
