In Memoriam: James Higginbotham (1941-2014)

MOVING TO FRONT FROM APRIL 25–VARIOUS UPDATES

A leading scholar working at the intersection of philosophy of language and linguistics, Professor Higginbotham taught for over forty years at Columbia, MIT, Oxford, and for more than a decade until his death, at the University of Southern California.  I will post links to memorial notices when they appear.

UPDATE:  There is more information about his career and work here.

ANOTHER:  A USC story about Higginbotham when he took over as Chair of Philosophy in 2000.  (Thanks to V. Alan White for the pointer.)

ONE MORE:  USC's memorial notice.
