The Faculty and Somerville College were very proud to welcome Somervillians, linguists, people from adjacent fields, and friends from Oxford and across the world, for Colin Phillips' Inaugural Lecture "Now you say it, now you don't", delivered to a packed lecture theatre at Somerville College on Tuesday 4th June. We went away with a renewed sense of excitement about the subject, and about now as a time to be in our field: "it’s like the 1970’s again in Linguistics"!
